...revolutionary spirit in Marx's Europe was essentially anarchistic. It was the revolt of men alienated by industrializing change from the land, from their tools, from a sense of their status-however humble-in a society that they understood. Although Marx sympathized with the emotions that called forth this revolt, he recognized anarchism's impotence and fought it bitterly. In his view, nothing could or should stop the march of industrialization and its political and social consequences...
...opportunity lies among highly educated people in advanced countries, notably the U.S. The slogans of their rebellion against various social evils assert that they wish to change society. But underneath the surface, what is being resisted is often change itself, change that has no obvious meaning and no clearly understood direction.

Its companion piece, representing Samson pulling down the temple on his head as six Philistine heads loom above, demonstrates Auden's observation that the old masters were never wrong about suffering: "How well they understood /. . . how it takes place/ While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along." The small figure of St. Peter from the Third Abbey Church at Cluny is stylistically as spare as anything Matisse ever contrived, humanistically as moving as Rembrandt's Peter. Weighed down...
