…the fight for our planet, physical and spiritual, a fight of cosmic proportions, is not a vague matter of the future; it has already started. (Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, A World Split Apart, Commencement Address At Harvard, June 8, 1978)
Notes:
a) The “physical” (giants) and “spiritual” (gods) “fight of cosmic proportions” is the gigantomahia. Of course “it has already started”, since it takes place in a “time” of its own which is without beginning and without end. Plato calls the battle “interminable“.
