A Golden Age

Life no more is mystery
The world’s at our command
Our knowledge and our industry have placed it in our hands
Men of vision, spirits bold, will open every door
The world a toy, each day a joy
And will be forevermore
A golden age is truly upon us
An era of wealth and splendor
Masters of fate, august and enlightened, is how we’ll be remembered
A golden age (This golden age) of science and reason (science and reason)
Discovery and inspiration (This golden age)
Marvelous time, miraculous world
The dawn of revelation
Victor Frankenstein
Our beloved boy
We live in a glorious time, my son. A time when one man with knowledge can
change the world!
The brightest child we’ve ever seen (Gifted boy)
Monumental things await! (Father's joy)
Another Newton, Galileo! (Wondrous days)
Think of what he might create! (Golden age)
The future is a banquet and it’s time for us to dine!
We raise a glass, propose a toast to the house of Frankenstein!
We are pleased and proud to accept your son, Victor, at the University of
Ingolstadt!
It’s the finest school of the sciences in all of Europe!
Congratulations!
Henry, I think I’ve discovered something extraordinary! I- I, I can’t explain
it yet, but only at Ingolstadt will I find the tools to explore it
Victor, since boyhood you’ve been bent on conquering the world! Haven’t you
learned that no man truly can?
What I’ve learned is that there’s no secret that mankind will not one day know
And perhaps… regret knowing
Victor, come. Your mother… hasn't much time
Your mother would’ve wanted you to go on to university, Victor, we both know
that
Elizabeth… we haven’t spent a day apart since we were five. How will I manage
without you?
