"The life of a national people is sharply delineated by its boundaries, sacred rivers, formidable mountains, and boundless seas, and is thus fixed in space. It is based on tradition, oriented towards a distant future and thus fixed in time. Woe to him who cuts off his own roots, he becomes a worthless human being, a parasite. To deny the past is to deny the future and disappear with the fleeting waves of the present.

But for the national man there is just as great a danger, and that is that he forgets the present. To have a tradition is to have an obligation to live up to it. A nation is not a house in which each generation, like a generation of coral, must only lay a new floor, or in which it must exist, bad and good, only in a space defined once and for all. A castle, a solid bourgeois house that, once built, seems to stand forever. But soon a new generation, driven by new needs, sees the need for a major change. Either it burns down or it collapses, and a renovated, renewed building rises on the old foundations. The facades change, every stone is replaced, but it is still the same house, in a very special sense – as far as the genealogy is concerned. So was it just a perfect Renaissance or Baroque house, did it have a design language applicable to all times? No, but what it was then is also somehow hidden in what it is today."

~ Ernst Jünger, Tradition

'Men are tired to disgust of money-economy. They hope for salvation from somewhere or other, for some real thing of honor and chivalry, of inward nobility, of unselfishness and duty.'
- Oswald Spengler

"Art is Hell. It was not without reason that Valery Bryusov bade the artist: 'Like Dante, your cheeks must be scorched by the flame of the underworld'. The countless circles of Hell can only be crossed without dying by a person who has a companion, a teacher and a guiding dream about She who will lead him to a place which even the teacher dares not enter."

"'Amor e cor gentil son una cosa'...
To you was unveiled, Alighieri,
The divinely revealed apotheosis
Of earthly love and temporary loss.

Flower then, o heart, sacrificial rose!
There are four of them, of the perpetrators of the mysteries;
And seven swords, at the fatal threshold,
Will pierce you, o Rosa Dolorosa!

The sacred measures have been tested,
Wisdom is justified by every word;
Whoever loves, sees death - and continues to love.

Recognize, bridegroom, the bride in the veil!
Smell sweet, love, in a crown of thorns!
The bee will fly down to gather what you have created."

Decline is an old temptation of the European soul, the dark side of its tragic courage. In spite of the sun of Attica, Hesiod had already whispered the song of the twilight, before the bards took it back under the grey sky of the old Germania and the Celtic countries.

It was this song that haunted Master Robert Wace, in his island of Jersey, one day as he traced on parchment the first lines of his Roman de Rou, in the middle of the 12th century:

«All things hasten to decay
All fall, all perish, all come to an end
Man dieth, iron consumeth, wood decayeth
Towers crumble, strong walls fall down, the rose withereth away...»

Certainly. But also, all things come back, they are reborn, they live again. Children are born and succeed to fathers.

And even if some generations would be forgetful and unfaithful, without them knowing it, through them life is transmitted and with it, a part of the heritage that other generations eager to return to the sources of the kingdom, beyond time, will find later on.

“God desires that man should be. God does not wish to be alone. The meaning of existence is the conquest of loneliness, the acquisition of kinship and nearness.”
― Nikolai A. Berdyaev

"With Beethoven, the tendency towards German loneliness began to improve. Since the instruments started talking, people have stopped talking; a silent, musical people."
~ Carl Schmitt

“A man’s reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.” - C.S. Lewis, “'Equality', Present Concerns"

It's no secret that monarchs have been reduced to symbolic and ceremonial icons in today's Europe. And that's the only level on which they are relevant in public life.

And what do they symbolize in the hearts of millions? They represent sovereignty, identity, patriotic solidarity, tribal loyalty, and an organic and socially accountable relationship with the state and its institutions; all of which have no place in our alienated, deracinated, and technocratic modern western world.

"Cain was very old and had children. Abel also left children, and there were other brothers and sisters, the children of Adam. But God replied that it would not be so; that whoever should kill Cain should himself be punished sevenfold, and He placed a sign upon him that no one should slay him. Cain’s posterity gradually became colored. Cham’s children also were browner than those of Sem. The nobler races were always of a lighter color. They who were distinguished by a particular mark engendered children of the same stamp; and as corruption increased, the mark also increased until at last it covered the whole body, and people became darker and darker. But yet in the beginning there were no people perfectly black; they became so only by degrees."
