These lines might well have been written by a denizen of the contemporary counter culture, though he might have respected "Divinity" only by eliminating it for "Government." The lines can suggest various things. First, that there is an analogy to be made between the Renaissance and the contemporary world. Secondly, that a rejection of conventional learning-we discuss it under the rubric of irrelevance-can be a prelude to a revival of the occult. Thirdly, the utilization of this text can intimate that, for present purposes, the author may owe more to Herodotus than he does to Ranke, that is, more to history as art than to history as science. That, too, may be a sign of the times
