Revenge Done Failing

More From Edgar Allan Poe

The thousand injuries of fortunato i had borne as i best could, but when he ventured upon insult i vowed revenge. you, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. at length i would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. i must not only punish but punish with impunity. a wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. it is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.

There is something in human history like retribution; and it is a rule of historical retribution that its instrument be forged not by the offended, but by the offender himself. the first blow dealt to the french monarchy proceeded from the nobility, not from the peasants. the indian revolt does not commence with the ryots, tortured, dishonoured and stripped naked by the british, but with the sepoys, clad, fed and petted, fatted and pampered by them.

As the astronomer rejoices in new knowledge which compels him to give up the dignity of our globe as the centre, the pride, and even the final cause of the universe, so do those who have escaped from the christian mythology enjoy their release from the superstition which fails to make them happy, fails to make them good, fails to make them wise, and has become as great an obstacle in the way of progress as the prior mythologies which it took the place of two thousand years ago.

It’s wrong to hate. it always has been wrong and it always will be wrong! it’s wrong in america, it’s wrong in germany, it’s wrong in russia, it’s wrong in china! it was wrong in two thousand b.c., and it’s wrong in nineteen fifty-four a.d.! it always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong!

Hate Fighting Despite
This deliberately nurtured hatred then spreads to all that is alive, to life itself, to the world with its colors, sounds, and shapes, to the human body. the embittered art of the twentieth century is perishing as a result of this ugly hate, for art is fruitless without love. in the east art has collapsed because it has been knocked down and trampled upon, but in the west the fall has been voluntary, a decline into a contrived and pretentious quest where the artist, instead of attempting to reveal the divine plan, tries to put himself in the place of god.
Art Hate Fall
I came to the conclusion that most people in america would really like to be able to get a job where they think they're doing something noble and nice and good and it isn't just for the money. but the reason they hate what they call the cultural elite is that they see it as a class that's grabbed all the jobs where you can get paid to do something that isn't just for the money - if it's art, if it's charity, if it's intellectual, if it's political, whatever it might be.
