"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.)
This darling boy looks like a new age Huck Finn.
