‘Waiting for the Barbarians’, C. P. Cavafy

*Why this sudden bewilderment, this confusion?

(How serious people’s faces have become.)

Why are the streets and squares emptying so rapidly,

everyone going home lost in thought?

Because night has fallen and the barbarians haven’t come.

And some of our men just in from the border say

there are no barbarians any longer.

Now what’s going to happen to us without barbarians?

Those people were a kind of solution.

— ‘Waiting for the Barbarians’, C. P. Cavafy*

Correspondence, J.R.R. Tolkien

"There is the tragedy and despair of all machinery laid bare. Unlike art which is content to create a new secondary world in the mind, it attempts to actualise desire and so to create power in this world and that cannot really be done with any real satisfaction. Labour saving machinery only creates endless and worse labour, and in addition to this fundamental disability of the creature is added the Fall which makes our devices not only fail of their desire but turn to new and horrible evil. So we come inevitably from Daedalus and Icarus to the giant bomber. It is not an advance in wisdom! This terrible truth glimpsed long ago by Sam Butler sticks out so plainly and is so horrifyingly exhibited in our time with its even worse menace for the future that it seems almost a worldwide mental disease that so tiny a minority perceive it."
