Lyric discussion by nickolay 

"Happy the man" verse is inspired by John Dryden's English translation of one of Horace's odes (Imitation of Horace, book III, ode 29, vv. 65-72).

The Dryden's original text is also quoted in "Ode to the Man", the last mini-track of the album:

Happy the man, and happy he alone He, who can call today his own He who, secure within, can say Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today
