"'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."

“The Sanskrit language, whatever may be its antiquity, is of wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either; yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of the verbs and in the forms of the grammar, than could have been produced by accident; so strong that no philologer could examine all the three without believing them to have sprung from some common source, which, perhaps, no longer exists.”

- Sir William Jones
(February 2nd, 1786)

"The first tongue, the mother tongue, spoken by Adam, Sem, and Noe, was different, and it is now extant only in isolated dialects. Its first pure offshoots are the Zend, the sacred tongue of India, and the language of the Bactrians. In those languages, words may be found exactly similar to the Low German of my native place."

Great quote. The one thing Sir William Jones gets wrong is that Sanskrit is the common source.
