The triumph of barbarism and religion.
The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations. History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind. All that is human must retrograde if it does not advance. The_decline_of_Rome_was_the_natural_and_inevitable_effect_of_immoderate_greatness. |
