Ladies and Gentlemen! As you can see, I have the honour of concluding with a brief epilogue for this conference of ours, which has been so successful. You have heard so many wonderful things along with me and you have heard them with such magnificent organization and with such completeness, that I am preparing myself to take on my task-that of giving you a halfway decent epilogue-with a certain embarrassment. When we hear lectures of such depth conveying so many things that come out of the highest culture, at least in my case there are many questions about these that come into my head. The high points of culture are mountain tops that rise up high over the plains, plains somewhat submerged in fog and somewhat marked by marshes or fertile fields. My glance turns to what lies all around us or what lies as our bases. All of these cultures were built on foundations that go back far in time, foundations we find only hints of in the materials that are directly available to us.
