Over and over, fire-god, you gather what is precious for your friend You who stand in the path of libation, bring goods to us. Assemble, speak together, let our thoughts agree As gods once came together to receive their portion Common in utterance, common in assembly, common in thought and feeling I hereby utter a common purpose and make a common oblation on your behalf Common is your resolve, your heart joined in one accord United in thoughts, so that it will go well for you together ***************************** But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought George Orwell ***************
