"Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer.” E. M. Forster, Howards End (1910), ch. 22
"We go for a walk in nature, we see a beautiful sunset — we breathe the order in through our senses, we feel connected. The inside begins to mirror the magnificent outside. In the Vedic tradition that connectedness is called 'yoga.'”
Chris Adamason, Vedic Architecture http://www.newlifejournal.com/aprmay04/adamson_0504.shtml
‘One day when I was twenty-three or twenty-four this sentence seemed to form in my head, without my willing it, much as sentences form when we are half-asleep, ‘Hammer* your thoughts into unity’. For days I could think of nothing else and for years I tested all I did by that sentence [...]”* William Butler Yeats, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature (*cited in Frank Tuohy, Yeats, 1976, p.51 )
"If I Had a Hammer .... I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters/ All over this land” words and music by Lee Hays and Pete Seeger
*hammer images "Thor's Hammer is a symbol of the struggle against chaos and evil. It's the weapon used by Thor against giants, monsters, and other trollish folk who threaten the common good. It seems particularly appropriate in these troubled times" (http://www.ragweedforge.com/ThorsHammer.html). See especially http://www.mackaos.com.au/Articles/Mjol.html
"The quality of a university's leadership helps to determine the quality of our culture. The University's challenge is to provide informed, ethical, compassionate, and respectful leadership'. Larry Temple, BBA '57; President, Ex-Students' Association 1997-1998."

The importance of READING DIRECTIONS in this course.
In terms of your future success even more important than reading literature with care is the ability to read directions carefully and follow them fully and faithfully. Employers regard that as a key asset, and of course see weakness in this area as a serious liability. You can not expect an employer to hold your hand throughout an assignment the way you may have expected your parents or previous school teachers to do so. Now that you are in college you must make the transition clearly stated in the traditional address to Freshmen at Amherst College. On the other hand, if, after reading the directions carefully, you still have questions, you are strongly encouraged to ask questions in class, email the instructor, or come to see him in his office hours. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you in any way that I can. I want you to succeed here!

How does this assignment relate to E328? Psychology was invented in the Victorian era. The first laboratory for the study of psychology as we know it was built in 1879. The first basic text was William James's Principles of Psychology (1890) and both of the next two pioneers of the field were raised as Victorians: Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and, the theorist of psychological types for this assignment, Carl Jung (1875-1961).

Plato points up to the world of the forms, while Aristotle points down to the importance of the Earth and science- I wonder where Eliot, Romola, or Tito will stand by the books end?
