Robert Lodimus describes the decline of his country

In his message, Lodimus draws inspiration from authors like Charles Baudelaire who depicts a world numbed by darkness: "And the sky poured out darkness On the sad world numbed." He describes the reality of his daily life, where he seeks refuge in a crypt to meditate and weep over his nostalgia.

Lodimus evokes the stillness of time as written by Albert Jacquard: "When nothing happens, Time does not exist!" He criticizes the new masters who run the country and views his uncertain future as that of Babylon or Nineveh.

He highlights the presence of ghostly beings in his society, referred to as "zombies" in vernacular language. Lodimus questions the inertia of the inhabitants facing this situation and regrets the lack of heroes like Will Kane to confront the issues.

Literary Inspirations

Lodimus references several authors, including René Char who embodies resistance against "Nacht und Nebel," and Albert Jacquard who describes the stillness of time in a society without events. He also mentions Will Kane and Miller to illustrate the need for a hero capable of facing difficulties.

Social Critique

Lodimus sharply criticizes the moral and physical decay of his country, comparing his situation to that of zombies who submit without resistance. He laments the lack of reaction to growing problems and expresses deep sadness over the uncertain future of the country.
