Excerpt from A Record of the Pyramids: A Drama, in Ten Scenes
There is no vanity, no dream, no raving, The human mind can broach no fantasy 80 vile, so high, so airy, so profound, That is not fathered by Philosophy.
I do not deny, says Lord Bacon, that there may be contained in the fable of Prometheus several intimations that have a surprising correspondence with the Christian mysteries. In particular, the voyage of Hercules, made in a pitcher, to release Prometheus, bears an allusion to the Word of God coming in the frail vessel of the flesh to redeem mankind. But we indulge ourselves no such liberties as these, for fear of using strange fire at the altar of the Lord. - Ou Physical Mythology.
