In short, every one of them is not considered
"good" for its own sake, but rather because it
approximates to a standard prescribed either by
society or by the “herd,” as a means to the
ends of the latter, as necessary for their preserva-
tion and enhancement, and also as the result of
an actual gregarious instinct in the individual ;
these
qualities
are thus in the service of an
instinct which is fundamentally different from these
states of virtue.

When this brave city, honouring the Latin name,
Bounded on the Danube, in Africa,
Among the tribes along the Thames' shore,
And where the rising sun ascends in flame,
Her own nurslings stirred, in mutinous game
Against her very self, the spoils of war,
So dearly won from all the world before,
That same world's spoil
suddenly
became:
So when the Great Year its course has run,
And twenty six thousand years are done,
The elements freed from Nature's accord,
Those seeds that are the source of everything,
Will return in Time to their first discord,
Chaos' eternal womb their presence hiding.
