When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

writing "Worms" - rejoice
Martin Luther on diet
good Chritsian thoughts

PS The Diet of Worms 1521
(German: Reichstag zu Worms, was a
diet (a formal deliberative assembly,
specifically an Imperial Diet) that took
place in Worms, Germany, and is most
memorable for the Edict of Worms
(Wormser Edikt), which addressed Martin
Luther and the effects of the Protestant
Reformation.
