Laurel Fleury "The Goddess of Fire" doing her thing.

"In 1889 Nietzsche suffered a breakdown. At first he raved, singing wildly,
banging on his piano, tearing off his clothes in the street. He wrote letters
to friends and the courts of Europe announcing that he was Dionysus and the
"Crucified." Gradually he withdrew, until near the end he was barely aware of
the world...!

Technical Education
(for a student)
A pocket full of Mozart
A tool box stuffed with
Kant
A man alive with learnin'
Wants to know all about
That guy named Plato
While hammering nails
All day straight and true
Radio tuned to classical or jazz
He reaches into his heavy coat
And retrieves a page of The Republic
To roll across his tongue
While adjusting a bathroom pipe or
Whispering Shakespeare sonnets
Composing love lines to his girl
A man alive with learnin'
With a pocket full of Mozart
And a tool box stuffed with Kant
