“To achieve personal peace in active joy in this century [twentieth] perhaps more than any other has meant dropping out of the current power structure.  Since the Second World War for many men this has meant finding a viable alternative to the dragging decay of Christian capitalist democracy and the delusions of extreme leftist reform associated with the Depression and the Thirties.  In the Forties and Fifties this alternative consisted in forms of ideological refusal to held captive by the history of the West”—Eric Mottram, Introduction to The Scripture of the Golden Eternity by Jack Kerouac (1970).
