Mountain of the Muses

"O Muses! O High Genius! Be my aid!" - The Descent: Canto II The Inferno;

"The Muses are nine as one They are all of one mind And, dancing, they are of one body As they turn, leap, and wind And, as a chorus, of one voice Harmonizing as they sing And they are all of one heart In passionate art rejoicing They are all of one spirit Daughters of thundering Jove Individual in thier talents Sisters united by love. " -Joseph M Barat

"From the Muses of Mt. Helicon let us begin our singing, that haunt Helicon's great and holy mountain, and dance on their soft feet round the violet-dark spring and the altar of the mighty Son of Kronos...From there they go forth, veiled in thick mist, and walk by night, uttering beautiful voice, singing of Zeus who bears the aegis."
-from Hesiod's "Theogony"

"Arts with thy sweet graces graced be;" Sonnet 78.12 -William Shakespeare
