Concerning the profound superficiality of the Greeks


The truth embodied by the Olympians dis-appeared with the parting of the Veil of Minerva. There had existed a superficial profundity to their forms; they had given us art and a reason to be. But this naive quest for "truth" at Sais has left us barren. Verily, we sacrificed even more than Isis to "truth"!

We, moderns, have killed God through the carelessness of the scientific method's search for "truth". But what, now, shall fill the void we have created? We stand without the metaphysical grounding God had furnished us... Or, do we fall without any sense of direction?
