“The palingenesia having its first and last⟳ cause, as palingenesia, in the Incarnation is strictly supercosmic, supernatural, though it presupposes the natural, and like⟳ the cosmos has God for its first and last⟳ cause.”

“Within the soul, within the body social, there must be - if we are to experience⟳ long survival - a continuous "recurrence of birth" (palingenesia) to nullify the unremitting recurrences of death. For it is by means of our own⟳ victories, if we are not regenerated, that the work⟳ of Nemesis is wrought: doom breaks from the shell of our very virtue. Peace then is a snare; war is a snare; change⟳ is a snare; permanence a snare.”
