XV-Devil's Play

The Greek Dionysian players in Devil’s Play symbolize
the law of celebration: a Dionysian exaltation of life
and its hard work, bedevilments, and erotic pleasures.
Laugh your fears and sorrows away. Dance and drink
to your successes, for life is a Saturnian harvest.
Lift your spirits by passion and play.
Re-create yourself through recreation.

Through drink, music, and mind-altering drugs,
you become uninhibited and irreverent.
In your iconoclasm, you see in a new way and
break through Saturnian discipline and social convention.
You free yourself and become
natural, spontaneous, and original.

Of course, you risk stepping off the edge
under the influence of intoxicated madness.
Stone blind, you perform misdeeds.
Out of ignorance, you are the devil.
