The earth freely offers up her gifts, and the beasts of prey from the rocks and the desert approach in peace … Now is the slave a free man, now all the stiff, hostile barriers break apart, those things which necessity and arbitrary power or "saucy fashion" have established between men: the slave becomes a free man, the noble and the humble peasant get together and join the same Bacchic chorus".
Todas las delimitaciones de casta que la necesidad y la arbitrariedad han establecido entre los seres humanos desaparecen; el esclavo es hombre libre, el noble y el de humilde cuna se unen para formar los mismos coros báquicos".
