But Apollo appears to us once again as the apotheosis of the principium individuationis , in whom the eternal goal of the original Oneness, namely its redemption through illusion, accomplishes itself.  With august gesture the god shows us how there is need for a while world of torment in order for the individual to produce the redemptive vision and to sit quietly in his rocking row-boat, mid sea, absorbed in contemplation.
There is also a kind of song called Trivata , which consists of nonsense words extemporized by the singer.  It is a song beloved of boatment and dhooly bearers, as they take the sahib to his destination.  Every alternate line is some improvization telling of the sahib's supposed generosity, followed by a line of meaningless collection of mere words.
