• The Guide sang:
  The new age, the new art, the new ethic and thought,
  And fools crying,
  Because it has begun It will continue as it has begun!
  The wheel runs fast, therefore the wheel will run
  Faster for ever,
  The old age is done,
  We have new lights and see without the sun.
  (Though they lay flat the mountains and dry up the sea,
  Wilt thou yet change, as though God were a god?)

All this taught me and inspired me to look beyond what I could see on the skin.
