"Remembering the mysteries" is a good definition of enchantment, and it's a simple statement that hides just beneath the surface of art words like muse, music, and museum. If we first realized the absolute importance of honoring the mysteries that shape our lives, and then recognized that nothing presents those mysteries to us as powerfully as the arts do, then we might accomplish a miracle that seems to have happened briefly in the period of western history known as the Renaissance: the recovery of soul and the enchantment of ordinary life through the arts.
— Thomas Moore, The Re-enchantment of Everyday Life
