Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extended narrative poem divided into three cantos that follows Orion, a giant laboring to develop his potential. The author frames Orion's story within the broader context of the struggle between the intellect and the senses, where powerful energies are equally balanced. The narrative follows Orion as he discovers the strength of a really free agent to the utmost pitch of his powers for the good of his race, while also exploring the phases of the human experience of love. The author suggests that human nerves and their works are as wondrous as the mind, and that neither holds the higher place in the eye of Zeus. The book argues that human substance holds no higher attributes than those of the divine, and that both must develop all their loftiest energies. Ultimately, the book asserts that it is possible to obtain knowledge, use it to live up to one's faculties, and seek one's own reward in the consciousness of a well-worked life and the possession of a perfect sympathy.
