Mythology

If any scholar tells me that the cow jumped over the moon only because a heifer was sacrificed to Diana, I answer that it did not. It happened because it is obviously the right thing for a cow to jump over the moon. Mythology is a lost art, one of the few arts that really are lost; but it is an art.... He who has no sympathy with myths has no sympathy with men.

—G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man.
