Eternal Remembrance

“We believe in Olympus – and not in the ‘Crucified’.”

My life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to see If Immortality unveil A third event to me, So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell. Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.

“In [Plato] the freest abandonment is united with the precision of a geometer. His daring imagination gives him the more solid grasp of facts; as the birds of highest flight have the strongest alar bones. His patrician polish, his intrinsic elegance, edged by an irony so subtle that it stings and paralyzes, adorn the soundest health and strength of frame.”

“The eradication of the ‘instincts’. Virtues which are unattainable, or virtues which slaves who are controlled by priests esteem the most. The corrupt ruling classes have ruined the image of rulers. The ‘state’, exercising judicial power, is a piece of cowardice, because there is no great man by whom one can be judged. Ultimately the feeling of insecurity becomes so great that men grovel before anyone who commands with confidence and authority.”

“With his arms laid across his head: that is how the hero should rest, and that is how he should go beyond resting. But for the hero, of all people, it is beauty that is the most difficult thing of all.”
