[child-of-hurin]

Au fond de la forêt sauvage, à grand ahan, comme des bêtes traquées, ils errent, et rarement osent revenir le soir au gîte de la veille. Ils ne mangent que la chair des fauves et regrettent le goût de sel. Leurs visages amaigris se font blêmes, leurs vêtements tombent en haillons, déchirés par les ronces. Ils s’aiment, ils ne souffrent pas.

Deep in the wild forest like hunted beasts they wander, seldom daring to return in the evening to the shelter of the day before. They eat but the flesh of wild animals and they miss the taste of salt. Their emaciated faces turn pale, their clothes fall to rags, torn by wild brambles. They love each other, they do not suffer.

Joseph Bédier, Le roman de Tristan et Iseut (1922)

I hate the Hilaire Belloc 'translation' of this book, but I did think his adaptation of the last line of this paragraph was impactful (even if a little too autoral for my taste); he went with:

They loved each other and they did not know that they suffered.

Hillaire Belloc said, "Write as the wind blows and command all words like an army!" I think I can handle that, people say my writing blows all the time.

Now the most difficult thing in the world in connection with history, and the rarest of achievement, is the seeing of events as contemporaries saw them, instead of seeing them through the distorting medium of our later knowledge. We know what was going to happen; contemporaries did not.

Hilaire Belloc (The Great Heresies, page 100). Italics original.

"It is not the young people that degenerate; they are not spoiled till those of mature age are already sunk into corruption."

"CONVERSATION PIECE" ... de Sir Herbert James Gunn (National Portrait Gallery, London) ... Todo un homenaje a la amistad : tres amigos entrañables, tres inteligencias superlativas, tres "monstruos" de las letras ....

Son Gilbert Keith Chesterton (a la izquierda, escribiendo ... como no !!!), a su lado sentado Hillaire Belloc y de pie, mirando por encima del hombro Maurice Baring, muy pendientes de lo que Gilbert escribe.

Belloc (periodista, novelista, ensayista, historiador) era "el profesor" del grupo. La educación de Chesterton era artística y buscó a Belloc por sus conocimientos sobre teología de la historia. Baring (diplomático, periodista) representaba, con su conocimiento de idiomas, la amplitud de la cultura cristiana.

Solo uno era católico de nacimiento: Belloc, de ascendencia francesa; los otros dos conversos al catolicismo desde la Iglesia Anglicana

"Sooner or later Time brings the empty phrase and the false conclusion up against what is; the empty imaginary looks reality in the face and the truth at once conquers. In war a nation learns whether it is strong or no, and how it is strong and how weak; it learns it as well in defeat as in victory. In the long processes of human lives, in the succession of generations, the real necessities and nature of a human society destroy any false formula upon which it was attempted to conduct it. Time must always ultimately teach." --Hillaire Belloc in his essay, "Reality"

"The world is a battle ground for souls and the battle is between the Holy Church and the anti-Church, the Holy Church of God and anti-God, the Holy Church of Christ and anti-Christ. There isn't a middle ground! " Hillaire Belloc

[deus-sabaoth]

And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works: and served their idols, and it became a stumbling-block to them. And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils. And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood.

Psalm CVI. 35-38

(...) Our society has forgotten our patrimonial memory of the Fall, thus whole swaths of human beings fall for the Devil’s tired tactic of telling us we can be like gods. We worship sex, we worship the natural sciences, we worship celebrities and politicians. Furthermore, we seek to medicate ourselves out of any redemptive suffering. We sacrifice our children at abortuaries to the gods of prosperity. We murder the sick and elderly as a liberation to appease the gods of pain and disease. We advocate for the naturalistic creation-myth of the Prophet Darwin. Schools look to the Pantheon of Physicists to tell us the meaning found in a  meaningless cosmos. We have replaced the Judges of Israel with the black-robed Judges of the Court. Legal matters are no longer beholden to the Law of the Lord, but instead to the Logic of Lucifer. We look not to God as Master of Morality, but to ourselves.

Occultists are consulted to predict the future, and horoscopes are commonplace. We have recaptured the worship of the sun and moon as lords that rule the day and night. Animals are given human-rights as we exalt ourselves to the base nature of the common beast. The Cult of the Environment has confused people about which heat to fear - they obsess over a slight rise in temperature, yet advocate for inhuman solutions that may lead to a place that is burning hot. Our society is Godless, Christless, and void of the Virgin Mary. Our culture is no longer Christian; our culture is Pagan.

We have given up Roman Catholicism in order to live in pre-Christian Rome. We no longer confess our sins to Priests, but instead seek validation of our perversions from psychologists. Often, therapy acts as as confession without absolution. (...)

Christendom is dead, but as Hillaire Belloc famously said, “The Faith is Europe and Europe is the Faith.” Our Christian civilization was born through death, and has been murdered time and time again by Saracen and Socialist. Yet, our Lord is very adept at descending into the dead, and calling the dead-man to rise. Through the power of the Sacraments we contain the life of Christ within. If we are to recapture our heritage, what rightfully belongs to God, we must rid ourselves and our society of paganism.

"Be kind and tender to the Frog,   And do not call him names, As ‘Slimy skin,’ or ‘Polly-wog,’   Or likewise ‘Ugly James,’ Or ‘Gape-a-grin,’ or ‘Toad-gone-wrong,’     Or ‘Billy Bandy-knees’: The Frog is justly sensitive   To epithets like these. No animal will more repay   A treatment kind and fair; At least so lonely people say Who keep a frog (and, by the way,   They are extremely rare)." The Frog - Hilaire Belloc

These things being so, the recrudescence of Islam, the possibility of that terror under which we lived for centuries reappearing, and of our civilization again fighting for its life against what was its chief enemy for a thousand years, seems fantastic. Who in the Mohammedan world today can manufacture and maintain the complicated instruments of modern war? Where is the political machinery whereby the religion of Islam can play an equal part in the modern world? I say the suggestion that Islam may re-arise sounds fantastic – but this is only because men are always powerfully affected by the immediate past: – one might say that they are blinded by it.

THE Church itself was regarded (and will continue to be regarded by its adherents) as immortal, but its administration is subject to perpetual threat of mortality, that is, of corruption and weakness tending to extinction.
