Saint Hildegard , the Sibyl of the Rhine, is where it's at. She is a paragon of humanity. They say holy fire of divine inspiration streamed from her eyes. A profound soul, nothing like modern roasties.

>When the words come, they are merely empty shells without the music. They live as they are sung, for the words are the body and the music the spirit."

O breastplate of life
and hope of uniting
all members as One,
O sword-belt of honor,
enfold those who offer blessing.

Care for those
who are imprisoned by the enemy
and dissolve the bonds of those
whom Divinity wishes to save.

O mightiest path which penetrates All,
from the height to every Earthly abyss,
you compose All, you unite All.

Through you clouds stream, ether flies,
stones gain moisture,
waters become streams,
and the earth exudes Life.

You always draw out knowledge,
bringing joy through Wisdom's inspiration.

Therefore, praise be to you
who are the sound of praise
and the greatest prize of Life,
who are hope and richest honor
bequeathing the reward of Light.

how would you ask a polymath from the 11th century in medieval Germany if they could be your mentor???/
