The new age of dying compassion,
emotional indifference
and selfish isolation.
The new medievalism,
a wall to keep ideas out,
a barrier to preserve stagnation.
Any system built on hate
eventually turns on its supporters.
Only then do some realize it’s too late.

I’m not sure the implied characterization of medievalism is really fair to the period or its admirers . . . but that’s just a tangential quibble. 🙂
Medievalism, for better or worse, was appropriate for its time, and in our time via fiction and non-fiction. At least some historical knowledge is invaluable. 🙂
