CYCLE THIRTY-SEVEN

1. Just as English civilization superseded the barbarism of ancient Britain, so, in due course, English civilization was eclipsed by the barbarism of Great Britain, which proceeded to make war on Gaelic, though particularly Irish, culture through the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

2. The liberation of Irish culture from the shackles of British barbarism was achieved through republican nature, which managed, through a combination of insurrection and diplomacy, to wrench 26 of the 32 counties of Ireland from direct British control. The remaining six are, due to Loyalist intransigence, still (2006, the date of this revised version) within the United Kingdom.

3. Loyalists in Northern Ireland relate not to republican nature, still less to Gaelic culture, but to British barbarism, to which they remain loyal through the United Kingdom.

4. It cannot be said that a return to English civilization, following secular devolution and ecclesiastical disestablishment, would be beneficial to England, since such a return would ultimately be at nature's expense. If Britain ever does democratically break up, then only republican nature will ensure that England doesn't revert to civilization but remains in a position from which, eventually, a progression to culture may be possible.

5. Such a progression to culture would be in step with Scotland and Wales, as the (hypothetical) former British countries joined Ireland in the celebration of political, economic, scientific, and, above all, religious culture in 'Kingdom Come'.

6. While Scotland and Wales would, I believe, be capable of culture along with Ireland, given their Gaelic traditions, it is altogether doubtful whether England would be capable of gravitating from nature to culture or even of embracing nature beforehand ... were it not for the considerable potential for racial transmutation which, compliments of its imperial legacy, characterizes contemporary England.

7. Traditionally the Scots and Welsh were, like the Irish, subjected to, first, the encroachments of English civilization and, then, their submergence within British barbarism, which, with regard to Ireland, resulted in the establishment of the United Kingdom.

8. Due to their submergence within British barbarism, the Scots and the Welsh fared worse, on the whole, than their Irish counterparts ... where the retention of Gaelic culture was concerned. Even today they are at a disadvantage to the Irish with regard to their continuing status as British subjects.
