The History of Magic

Jim Morrison once said
A saint is really a criminal
And a criminal is really a saint.
I suppose wanting to be a saint
While being a criminal,
That makes me like Socrates' Eros
Half Wise, and in a mean between them both.
A true philosopher, knowing both
The deep evil and the deep joys;
Yet, I still wish to be a saint,
While have mercy on the criminal
For having been so, too, once myself.
