"A great wonder, Asclepius, is man!"
Mercury to Asclepius, from On the Dignity of Man, Pico Della Mirandola.
Hieratic Melodies flow into his ear.
Youth, a slanted crown, sits
weightless on his brow.
He is at one with his future Kingdom.
The Modern Pico will always glide
"In the Time of Lilies...."(Sing the last line.)
