“Impart to the world you would influence a Direction towards the good, and the quiet rhythm of time will bring it to fulfilment.”– Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805).
 
Dry 
The muses have 
Drained me 
 
Revive 
Through living springs 
Of milk from better ages 
 
That I may 
Into a stranger of my century 
Grow 

Be moved by the drive 
Of the beautiful soul 
To play 

Endure the ordeal 
Defy the opinions 
Masquerading as the world 
 
To resist becoming  
The creature of the 
Century that bore me 

Dignity lost yet artfully rescued 
Amber preserved. 
 
Truth’s terrible vengeance 
Radiant in the dewy  
Valley of the night 
Pursues the tim’rous fugitive 

To the ends of the earth 
To the ends 
of the earth.
