• Magic enables man to carry out with confidence his important tasks, to maintain his poise and his mental integrity in fits of anger, in the throes of hate, of unrequited love, of despair and anxiety. The function of magic is to ritualize man's optimism, to enhance his faith in the victory of hope over fear. Magic expresses the greater value for man of confidence over doubt, of steadfastness over vacillation, of optimism over pessimism.

• This day relenting God
  Hath placed within my hand
  A wondrous thing; and God
  Be praised. At His command,
  Seeking His secret deeds
  With tears and toiling breath,
  I find thy cunning seeds,
  O million-murdering Death.
  I know this little thing
  A myriad men will save.
  O Death, where is thy sting?
  Thy victory, O Grave?
