Children of Darkness

From darkness into the Light. How trite these words seem, yet
\nnevertheless, they are true in an historical context. And more and more are
\nthey true today as my whole being is constantly and completely infused with
\nthe fact by the contradictions of an age…the schizophrenia…that is, the
\nmultipersonalities of a species…which cloaks one with frustration, yet is no
\ndoubt also the regalia, the harbinger, the psychodrama of an age in transition
\nand evolution.
\nDarkness, Light. From the dark cave-like refuge of the monk’s wall to
\nthe expanse and splendor of the Gothic arch and tracery. From the bat-like
\nwings of priestly office and candle-dripped manuscripts of forgotten libraries\u00a0beneath the earth to the erudite illumination of universities. From the
\nskulking, furtive transactions of the Jew…in the shadow of the wall of the
\nprince, sword, and early death…to the engines of steel and glass straining
\nforth with the energy of the millenia towards the expanse of the heavens,
\ntowards the sky-brilliant Light.
\nSo blinded by light in fact are we that we all too often forget that we are
\nstill children of darkness. So frantically have we sought to place our whole
\nselves into that finest of pin-dots of light afforded by man’s technological
\nwonders, which by our estimation should immediately translate us unto a
\nparadise of equisite joy…that we have nearly torn the body societas asunder…
\nas foot, leg, trunk, arm are still firmly anchored…in relentless mediaeval
\nnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
