In 1900, Santayana's assault on conventional pieties outraged contemporaries like William James. This first work of prose criticism asserts that "poetry is called religion when it intervenes in life, and religion, when it merely supervenes upon life, is seen to be nothing but poetry." Santayana's ideas continue to influence debates over science and religion.

It can be a rewarding experience. If you write music for some of the songs, you record them, and they are successful, please give me a little credit....
