I believe I am only trying to stammer out the first terms of a forgotten knowledge.
But I have no desire to revive dead kings, or dead sages.

It is not for me to arrange fossils, and decipher hieroglyphic phrases.

I couldn't do it if I wanted to.

But then I can do something else.

The soul must take the hint from the relics our scientists have so marvelously gathered out of the forgotten past, and from the hint develop a new living utterance.
