“Monarchy can easily be "debunked," but watch the faces, mark well the debunkers. These are the men whose taproot in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film stars instead: For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.” MenWellsHas BeensBeautifulFilmFacesSpiritualStarsWatchesCuttingHe ManKingsMarkAthleteDenyPoisonHonourForbiddenMillionaireMonarchyEdenMonarchsPebblesArchesRumoursSpiritual NatureFilm StarsConstitutional MonarchyPolyphony Author:C.
