Мы не можем быть уверены, что эта трансформация произойдет. Мы не можем быть уверены, что она вообще возможна, если общее качество населения, в котором должен совершиться столь тонкий процесс, не будет повышено более жестким евгеническим процессом, чем тот, к осуществлению которого у нас пока нет реальной решимости. Люди все еще поклоняются фетишу простого количества населения, и это поклонение может стать их погибелью. Гигантские социальные организмы, подобно гигантским видам животных ранних эпох, могут быть обречены на внезапное исчезновение, как только они достигнут своего предельного расширения.
Даже если это так, даже если произойдет разрыв непрерывности в ходе цивилизации, даже тогда, как опять же считал Жюль де Готье, нам не стоит отчаиваться, ибо жизнь — это источник вечного воодушевления. Ни одно существо на земле не терзало себя так, как человек, и никто не возносил более ликующего «Аллилуйя». Все еще было бы возможно воздвигнуть места убежища, монастыри, где жизнь была бы полна радости для мужчин и женщин, призванных своим призванием заботиться только о красоте и знании, и таким образом передать будущему поколению живой факел цивилизации. Читая Палладия, читая Рабле, мы понимаем, сколь обширное поле открыто для человеческой деятельности между Фиваидой с одной стороны и Телемской обителью с другой. Из такого пепла вполне мог бы возникнуть новый мир. Закат — это обещание рассвета.
