    “Pan’s Syrinx was a girl indeed,
    Though now she’s turned into a reed;

    Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
    So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;”
    —John Lyly (1553–1606)

    “La superstition met le monde entier en flammes; la philosophie les éteint. Superstition sets the whole world in flames; philosophy quenches them.”
