Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An American Satyr, Vol. 2: The Morbid Misconstruction and Malevolent Misrepresentation of America Catholics Are a Menace to the Republic The Satyr - half man, half beast - lurks in the dark shadows of the woods and roams solitary and stealthily in the dense depths of the sylvan glens of the awe-inspiring mountains. His form is hideous. With forehead disfigured by offensive knots; his head repulsive by protruding, stunted horns; his cheeks partly enveloped by huge ears that threaten his shoulders; his short tail protruding from the middle of his body; his feet hoof-covered and cloven, and his hairy goat limbs swelling with great muscles. the Satyr presents a form ugly and repellant. He is a beast. He prowls the woods and seeks by force to destroy the purity of the woodland nymphs. He is a debauchee from his fondness for wine, yet shows the touch of the moiety of manhood in him by loving music and by his dexterity in the use of the flute and bagpipe. The Satyr is a terror to men. Under pretence of friendship, he attacks man, fills him with fright, and drives him to flight by his hideousness and his ferocity. Sometimes dwelling in the hills, and again in the vales, he exhibits the restless spirit of the wicked who find no rest in the upright occupations of life. He has no settled place of habitation. His business is to go about seeking whom he may devour, and to inflict mischief and injury on the innocent. Brother to the Cureties, his idle and worthless kinsmen, the Satyr shows his relationship to them in the similarity of their mutual vices. He roves the woods and dales to the sounds of the pipe and cymbal and destroys in harmony with the wicked impulses of his clansmen. The young Satyrisci do not improve. Civilization has no power over them. It is no highway of advancement to them. Their vices, like that of their fathers - the Silent - are the budding lusts of their natures. Ever the same, the young Satyrs are impervious to the touch of improvement and implacable to the hand of civilization. Bearded as the goat, they bear the tail of the ass. Beastly, spying and offensive. and ever on the alert to discover the secret faults of men, the Satyr finds his pleasures and accomplishes the ends of his creation in the base, abhorrent and malicious in life and habitat.
