Man's Being Is Made Of Such Strange

"natural" Man Is Always There, Under The Changeable Historical Man. We Call Him And He Comes-a Little Sleepy, Benumbed, Without His Lost Form Of Instinctive Hunter, But, After All, Still Alive. Natural Man Is First Prehistoric Man-the Hunter.

The Masses Think That Is Is Easy To Flee From Reality, When It Is The Most Difficult Thing In The World.

Life Is A Terrible Conflict, A Grandiose And Atrocious Confluence. Hunting Submerges Man Deliberately In That Formidable Mystery And Therefore Contains Something Of Religious Rite And Emotion In Which Homage Is Paid To What Is Divine, Transcendent, And In The Laws Of Nature.

In Order To Master The Unruly Torrent Of Life The Learned Man Meditates, The Poet Quivers, And The Political Hero Erects The Fortress Of His Will.

[t]he Mass-man Sees In The State An Anonymous Power, And Feeling Himself, Like It, Anonymous, He Believes That The State Is Something Of His Own. Suppose That In The Public Life Of A Country Some Difficulty, Conflict, Or Problem Presents Itself, The Mass-man Will Tend To Demand That The State Intervene Immediately And Undertake A Solution Directly With Its Immense And Unassailable Resources. This Is The Gravest Danger That To-day Threatens Civilisation: State Intervention; The Absorption Of All Spontaneous Social Effort By The State.
