Social hierarchy, inversion of the Beautitudes, Native American themes, Akira, Dante… they all come together in this FFVII Myth & Materia column!
We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers
And sitting by desolate streams;
World losers and world forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
