Counter Nature












Alinhar ao centro



Without some totally revolutionary change in man’s attitude towards the mind, even his very tenure of the earth may come to be threatened...after all man will prove but one more of nature’s failures, ignominiously to be swept from her work-table to make way for another venture of her tireless curiosity and patience









































































































































































The various systems of doctrine that have held dominion over man have been demonstrated to be true beyond all question by rationalists of such power as Calvin and Hegel and Marx. Guided by these master hands the intellect has shown itself more deadly than cholera or bubonic plague and far more cruel.

A primeira imagem, a da mulher quase de costas, à janela, lembrou-me uma espécie de Edward Hopper de hoje...
