Wahai Aku,
Manusia Biadab Baru.
Zahirku mencanak mendahulu
Batinku merempat terkedu keliru
Melaut telah kujala Ma'lumat
Terkaram sudah Ma'na dan Manfaat
Alam merubah melangkau pesat
Diriku, akalku, kalbuku dan Ruhkulah
- Yang Terlambat dan Sesat!

It is evident that the change has been pernicious. Europe today is taking its sinister consequences. The convulsive situation in Europe at the present moment is due to the fact that the average Englishman, the average Frenchman, the average German are uncultured: They are ignorant of the essential system of ideas concerning the world and man, which belong to our time. This average person is The New Barbarian, a laggard behind the contemporary civilization, archaic and primitive in contrast with his problems, which are grimly, relentlessly modern. This new barbarian is above all the professional man, more learned than ever before but at the same time more uncultured...
