State "Education"

"Saint Valentine is past;

Begin these wood-birds but to couple now?"

– William Shakespeare, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (c. 1595-96), Act IV, scene 1, line 144.

 

"For this was on seynt Volantynys day

Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make."

Translation:

"For this was Saint Valentine's Day,

When every bird cometh there to choose his mate."

– Geoffrey Chaucer, "Parlement of Foules" (1382 [!]).

 

"The stronger the thunder, the more powerful the lightning. All reiterate—the New Age arrives in storm and lightning. For the lightning there are needed positive and negative energies. If Maya does not furnish the negative evidence, how then can flash forth the sword-blade of positive reality?"

– Agni Yoga, "New Era Community" (1926).
