English translations of the aphorisms of Nicolás Gómez Dávila
The original Spanish is:La algarabía de las “explicaciones” calla, cuando una totalidad individual alza la voz.
On an interesting linguistic note, the Spanish word algarabía, translated here as "babel," besides meaning "unintelligible language" or "gibberish," also means the Arabic language.
