"The Doric style is clear and dominated by a life, free from disordered passions and vain unrest: in which great extent the very immensity of the infinite '. The real Dorian element always has something 'elementary', pe ... rfino of 'barbaric': it assumes that the contact with the original is not interrupted, while the limit, the form will express the power of a full life, a life that dominates itself and in its intensity and purity is taken away from all that is psychologism and subjectivism. In temperament Doric, the estate of the soul has the tone of an impersonal active enemy of all that is incidental, contingent, inessential - ornate.
Here is the work, and not the 'creator', action, and not the author: here is the monumental, and the expressionistic, the lyrical el'umanistico, here is what is expressed by the great Voice of the same things, and not that which proceeds from a skill or an artful and industrious disorderly genius. Here the discipline is a value. The firmness and quiet dignity are worth. The law firm and inattenuata, is a value. At the limit, a value is the Olympic ideal, that of a clarity, a sovereignty and an order, or cosmos, which resolved the chaos that dominates the purely human element. "
(J. Evola, The texts of Rome, pp.537-538)
