It was the voice of that magic harp at the bottom of the sea, . . . the voice of hidden music that had cried ‘Resurgam’ through the wood.A breath of new life, "the magic Latin word resurgam"* means “I shall rise again” or "I shall return."
—Richard Le Gallienne, The Worshipper of the Image (1900).
*Herbert David Croly, The New Republic, 1941
