Die Aufhebung der Lyrik, so der Autor, steht unmittelbar bevor, denn – hier folgt er Oswald Spengler – der Untergang des Abendlandes ist unumgänglich. Jeder Widerstand gegen das Verblühen bleibt zwecklos. Fördert man es hingegen, findet man sich im Einklang mit dem notwendigen historischen Prozess. Der einleitende Essay "Das Nirwana der Poesie" belegt theoretisch die Unumgänglichkeit des Erlöschens europäischer Kultur. Der praktische Teil des Buchs belegt mit zahlreichen Beispieldichtungen den sicheren Niedergang der Lyrik. Neben Oswald Spengler sind u.a. Werk und Wirken von Hermann Conradi, Mao Zedong, Friedrich Nietzsche, Novalis, Claas Relotius und Josip Bros Tito Bezugspunkte der Poetologie Ernst-Steffen Blechkolbes.
The Vicar was suffering-almost as much as he had suffered the night that Helen, his wife, had died-and because he was suffering he dressed his fine cameo-like face in its sunniest smile. That was his way-parts of his creed-of-daily-life, an intrinsic part of his self. A godly man, in the sweetest and strongest senses of that overused word, Philip Reynolds had a wholesome flair for the things of earth that both mellow human life and give it a tang. He liked his dinner, and he liked it good. He loved his roses, and he was vastly proud of his turnips. His modest cellar was admirably stocked. He enjoyed the logs that burned and glowed on his wide hearths. He was fond of his books-both inside and out. If he found a newly purchased book (he subscribed to no library) little worth reading, he discarded it. He gave it away, if he held it harmless; if he thought it a hurtful volume, he burned it. But his taste was broad, and his charity-to books as well as to people-was wide.
