That lack of roots, this remoteness from ancient instincts and traditions is responsible for a certain bleak and heartless extravagance of statement on certain subjects which makes the author really unconvincing as well as exaggerative; satires that are _saugrenu_, jokes that are rather silly than wild, statements which even considered as lies have no symbolic relation to truth.
