Synopsis
Excerpt from Œdipus on the Sphinx of the Nineteenth Century, or Politico-Polemical Riddles Interpreted
Well, the thing that has been done, may be achieved hereafter, and that which now is caricatured in history shall be faithfully represented in the future, for to human perception, by means of phenomenal revelation of hidden realities, nothing is absolutely new under the sun.
Then back to ancient history, 0, Dryasdust, - back to your sacred calendaring of the past, and to your diaries of the dead, to unriddle the sphinx of the living, the present, and the future, if you can. But alas, your oracles are dumb, because your precious chronicles are of myths, and thus your present is darkness at mid day, and the future a miserable blank.
