captivated by
emotionalism
inspired by Satan.
Spellbound, they
listened to Hitler,
and even
applauded his
inhuman deeds.
The romanticism,
which had reached
such a degree of
insanity, was also

romanticism. Because romanticism robs people of their reason, and
places them under the power of their emotions, it can lure them into
every kind of perversion. For this reason, it is easy to mislead a
romantic person. Under the appropriate conditions, and within just a
short time, he can become a fervent racist or fascist. In another
instance, however, he can become a communist militant, attack
innocent people while chanting Leninist marching songs, or even lose
sight of his senses to the point of setting himself on fire for what he
comes to deem as a just cause. It is possible for a romantic to be cruel
and harsh in one instant and sob emotionally in the next. There is no
limit to the insanity that can result once wisdom is out of function, and
one becomes a captive of his emotions-better to say, the irrational
passions Satan provokes in him.
