Somehow with his philosophy I was missing the lifeforce and creative drive that is common to European people. He's more of an outright pessimist but he's not often wrong either. He's just missing something I think.

Guenon, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Gue-----non: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Gue. Non. Pip pip pip. He was One, plain One, in the morning, standing four feet ten before his two foot face. He was Tao in robes. He was Parmenides at life. He was Zeno on the dotted line. But in my mind he was always Guenon. Did he have a precursor? He did, indeed he did. In point of fact, there might have been no Guenon at all had I not initiated, one summer, an initial retroactive initiation. In a doctrine by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Guenon was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, the Whiteheadians, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.

The idea of Guenon singing like that makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. However, on the other hand, I can't help but feel that most Traditionalist writers would be amazing shitposters had they been born in our age, so it wouldn't be EXTREMELY out of character for them.
I'm confused /lit/, help me.
