„The Lone Furrow“ is the logical culmination of all of ROME’s previous endeavours, a brilliant and patient demolition of the despiritualised modern age, timeless in its critique of man’s greed and the deliberate desecration of beautiful things. “The Lone Furrow” is a mordant, clear-eyed critique of the modern world, spun with the delicacy of a spiderweb; a journey through the ravaged landscapes of history; a spiritual quest weaving a unique poetry of withdrawal from the troubling world into distant retreats. And yet, at the same time, this collection of remarkable compositions is a generous invitation to a great European Tradition of literary thought from Hesse to Nietzsche, from Tacitus to Orwell, from Ovid to the Edda, from Yeats to Baudelaire.
