CYCLE THIRTY

1. The dance of nature contrasts no less with the sex of civilization ... than the war of barbarism with the sport of culture.

2. Nature is the framework in which the dance of mundane life is celebrated, while civilization is the framework in which the sex of overworldly death is conducted.

3. Barbarism is the framework in which the war of netherworldly death is conducted, while culture is the framework in which the spirit of Eternal Life is celebrated.

4. The Devil rules war as man governs sex, woman represents dance, and God leads sport.

5. The more sport, the less war; the more dance, the less sex; conversely the less dance, the more sex; the less sport, the more war.
