"And the stone that sits on the very top
Of the mountain's mighty face--
Does it think it's more important
Than the stones that form the base?"
Ryan W. quoted the lyrics to this song from The Prince of Egypt in passing, but they described a good part of our group's salon conversation.
I was over there thinking (basically), Well, that top stone has no good reason to think it's better than the base! The base is EVERYTHING. Back to the sources, that's what the Renaissance was all about. Re-naissance. Re-birth. How can there be a rebirth if there was no regular birth?
