HP Lovecraft, the New Babel and the advent of the New Dark Age
As some "Sunday critics" say, Lovecraft always put before the alleged racial hatred the viscerally felt horror in the first person towards the advent of the modern world, the empire of machines and total depersonalization, in which every individual and his highest visions are swallowed up and inserted in a cosmic framework of universal tragedy, devoid of any higher outlet. And New York was, of course, raised in the image of the New Babel, which engulfs ancient traditions and human differentiations in a continuous, abject ritual of collective depersonalization, standardization and dehumanization.

Devotion: the sunset of the idols and the Waldgรคnger trail
The godless world saw the birth of man. On the desolate battlefield the astonished winner stood up and a naive triumphant grin was printed on his face: the war was perhaps won, the hated enemies defeated, man could finally get out of his lair and march on earth and other creatures. What a joy for the peoples, but what a tragedy for the world! Today, at the "Wall of Time"And al crossroads of history, having broken the order that we have taken for granted too lightly, we are preparing to build new paradigms for the world to come.
