The Book of the Damned

So,
if
a
giant
left
impressions
of
his
bare
feet
in
the
ground,
that
is
not
to
say
that
he
was
a
primitive--bulk
of
culture
out
taking
the
Kneipp
cure.
So,
if
Stonehenge
is
a
large,
but
only
roughly
geometric
construction,
the
inattention
to
details
by
its
builders--signifies
anything
you
please--ambitious
dwarfs
or
giants--if
giants,
that
they
were
little
more
than
cave
men,
or
that
they
were
post-impressionist
architects
from
a
very
far-advanced
civilization.
If
there
are
other
worlds,
there
are
tutelary
worlds--or
that
Kepler,
for
instance,
could
not
have
been
absolutely
wrong:
that
his
notion
of
an
angel
assigned
to
push
along
and
guide
each
planet
may
not
be
very
acceptable,
but
that,
abstractedly,
or
in
the
notion
of
a
tutelary
relation,
we
may
find
acceptance.
Only
to
be
is
to
be
tutelary.
Our
general
expression:
That
"everything"
in
Intermediateness
is
not
a
thing,
but
is
an
endeavor
to
become
something--by
breaking
away
from
its
continuity,
or
merging
away,
with
all
other
phenomena--is
an
attempt
to
break
away
from
the
very
essence
of
a
relative
existence
and
become
absolute--if
it
have
not
surrendered
to,
or
become
part
of,
some
higher
attempt:
That
to
this
process
there
are
two
aspects:
Attraction,
or
the
spirit
of
everything
to
assimilate
all
other
things--if
it
have
not
given
in
and
subordinated
to--or
have
not
been
assimilated
by--some
higher
attempted
system,
unity,
organization,
entity,
harmony,
equilibrium--
And
repulsion,
or
the
attempt
of
everything
to
exclude
or
disregard
the
unassimilable.
Universality
of
the
process:
Anything
conceivable:
