| Question: |
Why does the author believe that institutions have a predetermined limit that is marked by their utility? |
| Answer: |
The author believes that institutions have a predetermined limit that is marked by their utility because there exists a supreme law that assigns a fate to institutions, and once their usefulness to the progress of humanity is no longer present, they will eventually fall, despite the empire of traditions, courage, or the memory of a glorious past. |

| Guess: |

| Question: |
Why was Athens the only formidable enemy for the speaker? |
| Answer: |
Athens was the only formidable enemy for the speaker because there was still a possibility that Athens might rouse Greece against the speaker and overpower him by a coalition of which Athens would be the head. Therefore, the speaker needed to isolate Athens by political intrigues, and by driving Athens out of the Chersonese, strike a fatal blow at the commerce on which Athens' prosperity largely depended. |

With a weighty trophy on his boyish arm.

And in which all is grounded
You make bubbles of silence in the desert of sound
You sing nocturnal hymns on the arcs of the rainbow

You sacrifice time
To the eternal youth of an exact flame
That veils Nature to reproduce her
Woman you show the world a body forever the same
Yours
You are its likeness.

This is how decadence manifests itself: the
instinct of solidarity is so degenerate that solidarity
itself gets to be
regarded
as tyranny: no authority
or solidarity is brooked, nobody any longer
## p.
| Guess: |
tyrannical |
| Question: |
Why does the instinct of solidarity become degenerate in decadence, and how does this lead to regarding solidarity as tyranny? |
| Answer: |
The instinct of solidarity becomes degenerate in decadence because it leads to regarding solidarity itself as tyranny, as no authority or solidarity is brooked. This happens because the instinct of solidarity is so weak in decadence that people desire to fall in with the rank and file and adopt its ignobly slow pace. In such a situation, the slow movement which is the tempo of science is generally hated, and the scientific man's long breath and impersonal attitude are also resented. Morality is hostile to science because science considers certain things important which have no relation to "good" and "evil," and which therefore reduce the gravity of our feelings concerning "good" and "evil." Socrates was also hostile to science for similar reasons. |

":
At death the breath, or spirit, the puxń, left the man
and became his shade, while he himself was dissolved by
corruption, or burned by fire; the knowing, loving, hat-
ing, acting man perished, nought surviving but the shad-
owy,
strengthless
image.
| Guess: |

| Question: |
How the puxń transform into the shade after death? |
| Answer: |
How does the puxń transform into the shade after death?
At death, the breath or spirit, the puxń, leaves the person and becomes their shade, while their physical body is either dissolved by corruption or burned by fire. The knowing, loving, hating, acting person perishes, with nothing surviving but the shadowy, strengthless image. |

' Again, Soma is the visible expression of the
sacrificer's wish to move the god to whom it is offered ;
and the sacrifice has the desired effect: then it becomes
not only the symbol of the wish but the symbol of the
wish realized, the symbol of the
efficiency
which brings
that wish to realization: and then the symbolism passes
away-if indeed there had ever been a clear conscious-
ness that it was symbolism,-and there is left, Soma the
wish, Soma the wish realized, Soma the efficiency which
realized the wish, Soma the god.
| Guess: |
efficiency |
| Question: |
Why does the symbolism of the sacrifice represented by Soma pass away once the wish is realized? |
| Answer: |
The symbolism of the sacrifice represented by Soma passes away once the wish is realized because Soma becomes the efficiency which brings the wish to realization, and the symbolism of the wish realized passes away. |

| Answer: |
How did Greek art differ from the arts of ancient peoples in terms of its progress through reasoning, selection, and discrimination?
Greek art differed from the arts of ancient peoples in terms of its progress through reasoning, selection, and discrimination because Greek knowledge was destined to know itself. Due to its ever clearer recognition of its sources, modes and means, evidence and bounds, it was able to show the same unique and definite progress through reasoning selection and discrimination, which Greek art discloses alone among the arts of ancient peoples. Greek art was able to progress in a way that other ancient art forms did not due to the Greek race's desire for knowledge and their ability to distinguish between what they knew and what they did not. Other ancient peoples did not perceive and know with sufficient clarity to distinguish what they saw from what they did not see, and thus, their art did not progress in the same way as Greek art did. |

Then, over the ale, on this heirloom gazing,
some ash-wielder old who has all in mind
that spear-death of men, {28c} -- he is stern of mood,
heavy at heart, -- in the hero young
tests the temper and tries the soul
and war-hate wakens, with words like these: --
Canst thou not, comrade, ken that sword
which to the fray thy father carried
in his final feud, 'neath the fighting-mask,
dearest of blades, when the Danish slew him
and wielded the war-place on Withergild's fall,
after havoc of heroes, those hardy
Scyldings?
