Are your dreams adequate?

"The real argument against aristocracy is that it always means the rule of the ignorant, for the most dangerous of all forms of ignorance is ignorance of work." --Chesterton

Power of Babel.

"This day a solemn Feast the people hold
To Dagon th[e]ir Sea-Idol, and forbid
Laborious works, unwillingly this rest
Th[e]ir Superstition yields me; hence with leave
Retiring from the popular noise, I seek
This unfrequented place to find some ease,
Ease to the body some, none to the mind
From restless thoughts, that like a deadly swarm
v Of Hornets arm'd, no sooner found alone,
But rush upon me thronging, and present
Times past, what once I was, and what am now."

--from Samson Agonistes

Face off.
