"Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law." (*Kant*) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Not that I condone fascism or any "isms".

"Isms", in my opinion are not good.

A person should not believe in an "ism".

He should believe in himself." (*Ferris*)

"Cover your heavens, Zeus,

with gauzy clouds,

and practice, like a boy

who beheads thistles,

on the oaks and peaks of mountains;

but you must allow

my world to stand,

and my hut, which you did not build,

and my hearth,

whose glow

you envy me.

I know nothing more shabby

under the sun, than you gods!

You wretchedly nourish,

from offerings

and the breath of prayers,

your majesty;

And you would starve, were

children and beggars not

such hopeful fools.

When I was a child

I did not know in from out;

I turned my confused eyes

to the sun, as if above it there were

an ear to hear my laments -

a heart like mine

that would pity the oppressed.

Who helped me

against the pride of the titans?

Who rescued me from death -

from slavery?

Did you not accomplish it all yourself,

my sacred, glowing heart?

Yet did you not glow with ardent and youthful goodness,

deceived, and full of gratitude

to the sleepers above?

I, honor you? Why?

Have you ever alleviated the pain

of one who is oppressed?

Have you ever quieted the tears

of one who is distressed?

Was I not forged into a man

by all-mighty Time

and eternal Fate,

my masters and yours?

You were deluded if you thought

I should hate life

and fly into the wilderness

because not all of my

budding dreams blossomed.

Here I will sit, forming men

after my own image.

It will be a race like me,

to suffer, to weep,

to enjoy and to rejoice,

and to pay no attention to you,

as I do!"

(*W. Goethe.*)

But--sing?

Dream, laugh, go lightly, solitary, free,

With eyes that look straight forward--fearless voice!

To cock your beaver just the way you choose,--

For 'yes' or 'no' show fight, or turn a rhyme!

--To work without one thought of gain or fame,

To realize that journey to the moon!

Never to pen a line that has not sprung

Straight from the heart within. Embracing then

Modesty, say to oneself, 'Good my friend,

Be thou content with flowers,--fruit,--nay, leaves,

But pluck them from no garden but thine own!'

And then, if glory come by chance your way,

To pay no tribute unto Caesar, none,

But keep the merit all your own! In short,

Disdaining tendrils of the parasite,

To be content, if neither oak nor elm--

Not to mount high, perchance, but mount alone!
