NEW TRANSLATION: Pietro Cragnolini in Julius Evola's La Torre: "Great despair (collective nostalgia) finds its outlet in someone, and that one becomes, for himself and for others, the discoverer of a different depth: a window upon the infinite." https://t.co/Fl7LAfNWfG

"It is impossible to divorce the “good” from “happiness”... He who is defeated — outwardly or inwardly — is not “good” in the realistic sense; and that such a being could be happy would be unnatural, or at best accidental. Let him blame only himself, not the world."

Interesting bit in Yukio Mishima novel "Runaway Horses" on blood brotherhood and betrayal: Mishima speculates that all brotherhoods dedicated to a lofty ideal will by necessity produce a Judas... (prototype for this idea can certainly be found in the New Testament)

@SelectivBreeder Few know that even Dante discusses this at length in Paradiso XVI - "confusion of blood has always been a source of evil to city-states". Regarding the supposed need for population growth, he writes: "And that one sword may cut better than five has been proved in many a war".

Excalibur (1981) is so much better than I expected. I'm not sure I've ever encountered a movie that's willing to be both philosophical and funny without a hint of self-aware smarminess. There's a quality of naivete in it that deeply refreshing.

The character of traditional sacred science is to be a science and an art at once: it is knowledge and realization... an element of the traditional corpus cannot be possessed without a special modification of man’s inward mode of being. To know is to be the thing known: thus it

First English translation of Gottfried Benn’s The Doric World (1934), in which Benn offers a deep aesthetic and historical study of Dorian and Spartan cultures and frames a vision of German renewal through their ideals. Link in the first reply to this post.
Gottfried Benn recounts events that illustrate the view Dorian Greeks such as the Spartans and Argives had of the body: “Doric means the physique, but the active physique: the physique of muscles, of male flesh, of the body itself. The body tanned by the sun, hardened by dust,

The summit of the mountain is the symbol and the reality of the mountain itself. The silence and the solitude of the summit are its language and its mystery. From the summit of a high mountain the world is revealed, for from there – “all things are beheld as by their Creator.”
