 Then what is the answer? It is simply not to be deluded by dreams.
It is to know that great civilizations have broken down into violence, and their tyrants have come many times before.
It is to know that when open violence appears to avoid it with honor or choose the least ugly faction; these evils are essential to keep ones own integrity, to be merciful and uncorrupted and not wish for evil;as well not to be duped by dreams of universal Justice or happiness, for these dreams will not be fulfilled.
To know this,and to know that however ugly the parts appear the whole remains beautiful.
A severed hand is an ugly thing,and a man dissevered from the earth, stars and his own history for contemplation or in fact often appears atrociously ugly.
Integrity is wholeness.
The Greatest beauty is Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things.
The divine Beauty of the Universe, LOVE THAT, not man apart from that, or else you will share in man's pitiful confusions, or drown in despair when your days darken.
