Philosophical statement - is from Symmochus-pagan Phylosopher he put the case for toleration to a Victorious Christian Church-Quote="The Universe is too great a mystery for there to be only one single approach to it".


Live

Live in the season,
By ancients for told.
When the whole world
Shall be lighted.
When man to man united,
When every wrong thing,
Shall be righted.
When man shall live by reason,
And not alone for gold -
As Eden was of old.

The Trial

"Guilty," said Pontius Pilot,
As he washed his hands,
In compliance with Roman Law,
Reply-
"Ye hypocrites!
Who was your hands-
in Roman Law
And forget to wash your soul-
In the Law
Of the Ten Commandments!"
Our Trial?
