Neither Meaning Nor Justice

This world contains neither meaning nor justice!
That is, the world of yore is unintelligible
Unless God conceived history as the history
Of the crimes and misfortunes of the human race
Therefore, the here and now shall be torn down
And we will bless this world with meaning and justice

Arranged as they have been in all eternity
Man and the natural order cannot have been made for each other
We shall dissolve man and mould him into a new shape
As you would mould a malformed limb
Into a shape that fits the aforementioned order

We will act as though the principle of our actions were to become
By our will alone, a universal law of nature
We shall bear a world so perfect
That its realization will undo us, we shall name it nede
This is the promise of our providence

Hearken now
Everything is degenerate as it leaves the hands
Of the author of nature
Everything becomes good in the hands of man»
