Oratio Soluta

Löwengleich ist Saturn in unser Denken eingegangen; als wilde Bestie der Revolution, im aufgerissenen Maul noch die Glieder eines halbverzehrten Kindes. Goyas Danton: das blutige Gesicht der unzähmbaren Angst, dass der menschliche Freiheitshunger außer Rand und Band geraten könnte. Im Aufreißen des Mauls kündigt sich ein aufbegehrender Appetit an. Diese Physiognomie der Revolution, bei Goya ins Fürchterliche gesteigert, begegnet uns bereits dort, wo Saturn noch nicht zur Fratze eines weltgeschichtlichen Ungeheuers erstarrt war, sondern als goldzeitalterliche Gottheit des Ackerbaus und Kulturstifter...

Terrorism has been historically more successful when it was not...
