QUESTION:

Pico della Mirandola: On the Dignity of Man

We have made thee neither of
Heaven nor of earth,
Neither mortal nor immortal,

So that with freedom of choice
And with honor,
As though the maker and molder Of thyself,
Thou mayest fashion thyself in
Whatever shape thou shalt
Prefer.

Thou shalt have the power to
Degenerate into the lower forms Of life,
which are brutish.

Thou shalt have the power,
Out of thy soul's judgment,
To be reborn into the higher Forms,
which are divine."
