Medievalism, with its saints and martyrs, its love of self-torture, its wild passion for wounding itself, its gashing with knives, and its whipping with rods - Medievalism is real Christianity, and the medieval Christ is the real Christ.

Every month as it wanes bring you nearer to something dreadful. Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses.
