“Protection. Conservation. Restriction. Deep ecology. Give me deep technology any day. They don't scare me. "I'm damned if I'll crawl, my children's children crawl on the earth in some kind a fuckin' harmony with the environment. Yeah, till the next ice age or the next asteroid impact." (Moh Kohn, The Star Fraction)/ "This is the fight between God and the Devil. If His Grace is with God, he must join me, if he is for the Devil he must fight me. There is no third way" King Gustavus Adolphus

It be...
and to celebrate this, an excerpt from Le Corsaire
Le Corsaire (The Pirate) is a ballet in three acts, with a libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges derived from the poem The Corsair by Lord Byron. Originally choreographed by the Ballet Master Joseph Mazilier to the music of Adolphe Adam. First presented by the Ballet du Théâtre Impérial de l´Opéra in Paris on 23 January 1856.
The ballet has many celebrated passages which are often extracted and performed independently - the Grand ballabile known as Le Jardin Animé; the Pas d'action known as the Pas d'Esclave; and the classical trio known as the Grand Pas de Trois des Odalisques. The most celebrated excerpt is the so-called Le Corsaire Pas de Deux, which is among classical ballet's most iconic and performed excerpts.
The poem also inspired Verdi to write his opera Il corsaro
