I think the problem is extremism, one must hold a balance between science,philosophy and religion, too much of anything is a bad thing.

I have a problem with the use of the word extremism as a blanket term of abuse.

What is wrong with someone being extremely wise, extremely generous, extremely brave, extremely good looking, extremely kind and so on?

Yes but Byron is only warning against being extremely scientific, extremely philosophical or extremely religious, isn't he?

I mean some of us on here are extremely silly and Byron in no way warns against that, indeed he IS one of them, isn't he?  Tongue

Lord Byron. Methinks the owl of The Dough could be a bit dodgy Wink and that the hook of The Increpatio is baited with an artificial squid. Wink

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi#Dedication_to_Apollo

Delphi became the site of a major temple to Phoebus Apollo, as well as the Pythian Games and the famous prehistoric oracle. Even in Roman times, hundreds of votive statues remained, described by Pliny the Younger and seen by Pausanias. Supposedly carved into the temple were the phrases γνῶθι σεαυτόν (gnothi seauton = "know thyself") and μηδὲν ἄγαν (meden agan = "nothing in excess"),

byron...greeks...admire...philosophical...nothing changes eh Smiley

Sorry Ron. That is probably a bad misjudgement on my part, although your garden path/roundel affair does look rather all seeing eyeish. Wink
