Many were they whose cities he saw, whose minds he learned of, many the pains he suffered in his spirit on the wide sea, struggling for his own life and the homecoming of his companions.


— c.700  BC  Odyssey, bk.1, l.1-5 (translated by Richmond Lattimore).

The garden [of Eden] is the realm of pure beauty from which man is expelled when he becomes interested in ethics, in the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The return into paradise, the homecoming, depends on him penetrating the veils of morality to glimpse again the lineaments of lost beauty.

john carroll

— p. 92 (Break-Out from the Crystal Palace (1974))
