"The land, with its tranquilizing, sanative influences, is to
repair the errors of a scholastic and traditional education
and bring us into just relations with men and things."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
"God also enabled him [Solomon] to learn that skill which expels
demons, which is a science useful and sanative to men. He com-
posed such incantations also by which distempers are alleviated.
And he left behind him the manner of using exorcisms, by which
they drive away demons, so that they never return."
--Flavius Josephus, "Antiquities of the Jews", Book VIII*
[Translated by William Whiston]
