“We would bring the Goddess to Poetry, Music and Art. Here is the eternal search of spiritual youth, and if we can sing a few songs fragrant with this desire we shall have proved our youth and freedom as no chants about bullocks and droughts can prove it. That febrile disintegration of mind called Primitivism must disappear before the first laughter of the gods. In Gaiety and Beauty the gods de-scend to earth, and those who build that bridge have done more for their countrymen than any ballad monger or realist can do.”
