Ours is an age of unbelief. Meteors do not warn us; eclipses of sun and moon have lost for us their power of prognostication. We have fowls, like the ancient Romans, but they do not, as Pliny says, "daily govern the minds of our rulers" (hi magistratus nostros quotidie regunt). We kill and roast oxen and sheep, but there is no haruspex or tbyoskoos to enlighten us on the mystical properties of their entrails, or on those of the smoke ascending from their flesh.
