Kepler, who discovered the laws of planetary motion, made a living as an astrologer, and Newton wrote more about alchemy than he did about gravity—which, if nothing else, is a very “occult” force, given that no one has ever seen it.
Gary Lachman
The Secret Teachers of the Western World
Oh, gotta see, gotta know right now
What’s that riding on your everything
It isn’t anything at all
Oh, gotta see, gotta know right now
What’s that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I want to go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die some sink and some lay
But at least I don’t see you float away
And all this science, I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
Elton John
Rocket Man
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
The Rolling Stones
Sympathy for the Devil
We built this city on rock and roll

We Built This City
