Gustave Moureau : Prometheus
Niciodata spiritul sovaitor atins de hamletism nu a fost primejdios : principiul raului rezida in tensiunea vointei, in inaptitudinea pentru pacea desavarsita, in megalomania prometeiana a unei rase imbuibate de ideal care explodeaza sub presiunea convingerilor si care pentru ca a batjocorit indoiala si lenea - vicii mai nobile decat toate virtutile sale - a apucat-o pe calea pierzarii, a istoriei, amestec indecent de banalitate si apocalips.
( Tratat de descompunere )
Never the wavering spirit touched by hamletism wasn't dangerous : the principle of evil lies in the tension of will, in the unfitness for perfect peace, in the Promethean megalomania of a race gorged with ideal, exploding under the pressure of its beliefs and which, because it has mocked the doubt and the laziness - vices nobler than all its virtues - got on the way of perishing, of the history, indecent mixture between banality and apocalypse.
( Treaty of Decomposition )
