A Song to the Maskers
Come down, and dance ye in the toyle
Of pleasures, to a Heate;
But if to moisture, Let the oyle
Of Roses be your sweat.
2. Not only to your selves assume
These sweets, but let them fly;
From this, to that, and so Perfume
E'ne all the standers by.
3 As Goddesse Isis (when she went,
Or glided through the street)
Made all that touch't her with her scent,
And whom she touch't, turne sweet
-- Robert Herrick

We need a renaissance of wonder. We need to renew, in
our hearts and in our souls, the deathless dream, the
eternal poetry, the perennial sense that life is miracle and
magic. -- E. Merrill Root (1895-1973) American Writer

What I'm suggesting to you is that this could be a renaissance. We may be on the cusp of a future which could provide a tremendous leap forward for humanity.

The mind of the Renaissance was not a pilgrim mind, but a sedentary city mind, like that of the ancients.
George Santayana

Every renaissance comes to the world with a cry, the cry of the human spirit to be free.
