ENGLISH-AND NOT ONLY-DESIRES REVEALED

THEY WANT THE PARTHENON TO BE TRANSFERED TO LONDON!!! WHAT UGLY, IMPOLITE, PRIMITIVE THOUGHTS! EVEN IF THE TOTAL GREEK MONUMENTS COULD BE RELOCATED TO LONDON OR BERLIN OR ELSEWHERE WHAT WOULD CHANGE? THE SAME SAVAGES, THE SAME UNCIVILIZED PEOPLE, ONLY HAVING AN EXTERNAL EDUCATION, NOT HAVING INDEED TAUGHT BY THE WISDOM OF THE GREEKS! IT IS A SHAME TO SEE THAT ELGIN'S ATTITUDE, THAT OF A CAVEMAN IN FRONT OF A MASTERPIECE OF ART, HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED AT ALL. MODERN SOCIETIES ADMIRE GREEK MIRACLES, BUT THEY ARE NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH, SO TO ENJOY A GREEK TEMPLE IN ITS ORIGINAL LANDSCAPE! TO LAUGH OR CRY? IF IKTINOS AND KALLIKRATIS LIVED SOMEWHERE IN LONDON THEY WOULD BUILD A TEMPLE, BUT FOR ALL WHO REALIZE THE ESSENCE OF THE GREEKS, IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS THAT THEY WOULD BUILD THAT TEMPLE IN HARMONY WITH THE SPECIFIC NATURAL SCENERY. WHAT CAN I SAY. IT IS A PITY. IF ELGIN MARBLES RESIDING IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM HAD A POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE ENLIGHTMENT OF THE ENGLISHMEN, THEN IT WOULD NOT BE POINTLESS TO CARRY ALL GREEK MARBLE STONES, CIONS ETC TO ENGLAND!!!
