I would be most interested in hearing your opinion. My interpertation is, beware of that resonant chord, like the one Martin Luther employed when he composed "A Mighty Fortress is our god" that sucks one in to the realm of irrational religious ecstasy that over-clouds all rational reason and intelligent assessment of reality and leads one into the realm of religious emotional fervor. What's your take? cheers! wabidoux Emerson once said, “Trust Thyself, every heart vibrates to that iron string”
