It's The Circumstances Of Popular Monarchy, The Manner In Which It's Developed, And It Is Also The Fault Of The People Who Present Her With This Unquestioning Adulation. In Other Words, It's Their Lack Of A Larger Faith. Which Makes Them Fasten Onto, A Purely Earthly Symbol.

One Of The Peculiar Sins Of The Twentieth Century Which We've Developed To A Very High Level Is The Sin Of Credulity. It Has Been Said That When Human Beings Stop Believing In God They Believe In Nothing. The Truth Is Much Worse: They Believe In Anything.

The Genius Of Man In Our Time Has Gone Into Jet-propulsion, Atom-splitting, Penicillin-curing, Etc. There Is None Left Over For Works Of Imagination; Of Spiritual Insight Or Mystical Enlightenment.
