CHAPTER 13: THE ESSENTIAL UNITY
"This first great, supreme, mythic achievement cannot, in essence, be „perfected.” It can merely take on other new forms. The value breathed into a god or hero is what is eternal in good and evil. Homer represented the highest enhancement of what was Greek, and he guarded this even in decline. JEHOVAH IS THE SYMBOL OF UNBRIDLED JEWRY. The belief in Jehovah is the strength of even the lowest Jewish haggler in Poland.
This unity also holds for German history – for its people, its values, for the very old and new Myth, and for the supporting ideas of German folkhood. One form of Odin is dead: that is, the Odin who was the highest of the many gods and who appeared as the embodiment of a generation still given up to natural symbolisms. But Odin as the eternal mirror-image of the primal spiritual powers of Nordic man lives today, just as he did over 5,000 years ago."
