“Sweet songs of youth, the wise, the meeting of all wisdom
To believe in the good in man.”

Lyrics of "Loved by the Sun", on the soundtrack of the film Legend (1986).

“I have seen the mystics play there
Once or twice but I knew they had a reason
Enchantment plays it's cards all right
Hand in hand with the working of the seasons Legends can be now and forever
Teaching us to love for goodness sake
Legends can be now and forever
Loved by the sun, loved by the sun”
