Jonas Enander - Polymath

I wish to be a polymath. A person who embodies the basic tenets of Renaissance humanism, which consideres humans empowered, limitless in their capacities for development, which leads to the notion that people should embrace all knowledge and develop their capacities as fully as possible.

Icarus

Proud of his success, the foolish Icarus forsook his guide, and, bold in vanity, began to soar, rising upon his wings to touch the skies; 

but as he neared the scorching sun, its heat softened the fragrant wax that held his plumes;

and heat increasing melted the soft wax - he waved his naked arms instead of wings, with no more feathers to sustain his flight.
