Ugliness and the horrible

Where there is only the retreat [moving backwards] of former beauty, we have
the beginning of ugliness. But as soon as an antithetical principle begins to
work actively, there arises the sporadic anticipation of the hellish and the
horrible; this really �nds its own true region in the things that are under the
earth, in the [katachthonia]. . .
