Ludwig Fahrenkrog (1867-1952), ‘Luzifer sagt sich von Gott los’, “Moderne Kunst”, 1912[/caption]"Few men will anything very strongly, and out of these few, only a tiny minority are capable of combining strength of will with unwavering continuity. Most human beings are spasmodic and intermittent creatures, who like above everything the pleasures of mental indolence. “It is for this reason,” says Bryce, “that a strenuous and unwavering will sometimes becomes so tremendous a power, almost a hypnotic force.” Lucifer is the highest mythological incarnation of this intense personal will, and the great men who have embodied it upon the stage of history participate, to some extent, in his satanic strength and magnificence. It is because of this strength and magnificence, so very different from our own weakness and mental squalor, that we continue to hark back nostalgically to the biographies of such men as Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, and that, as each new imitator of Lucifer arises, we prostrate ourselves before him, begging him to save us."
