Introduction III O sages standing in God’s holy fire As in the gold mosaic of a wall, Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre, And be the singing-masters of my soul. Consume my heart away; sick with desire And fastened to a dying animal It knows not what it is; and gather me Into the artifice of eternity. IV Once out of nature I shall never take My bodily form from any natural thing, But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make Of hammered gold and gold enamelling To keep a drowsy Emperor awake; Or set upon a golden bough to sing To lords and ladies of Byzantium Of what is past, or passing, or to come. W. B. Yeats, "Sailing to Byzantium" [ edit ] Stereotypes The Traditions "There's such a thing as too much philosophy. Hard to imagine, I know." "Closer than most, but there's no need to look outside oneself." "Everything old is new. They've put some verve into it, though." "If you don't want to drive off a cliff, sometimes you have to take the wheel." "Alas for Kore! The circle always turns, though. They'll be fine." "One part good ideas, nine parts esotericism for its own sake." "I didn't know the Technocracy was this good at satire." "Savagery is a thing to be overcome." "Great, you built an elevator. Did you notice the stairs?" Everyone Else "Not to be trusted." "Standing athwart history yelling 'Stop!'" "The world turns onward, no matter how much we'd like to turn it back." "Neither Heaven nor Hell. Sad, really." "Even less to be trusted than vampires, if possible." "What happens when you proceed from a false premise." "What happens when you proceed from an evil premise." "It's not your fault you can't open your eyes. Well, maybe a little." [ edit ] Contacts Thea has no contacts as of yet.
