English translations of the aphorisms of Nicolás Gómez Dávila
The original Spanish is:Humanizar nuevamente a la humanidad no será tarea fácil después de esta larga borrachera de divinidad.
The word translated here as "orgy" is borrachera. It comes from the word for "drunk" (borracho) and does not have the religious overtones that the word "orgy" sometimes has in English. Another possible translation is "drinking bout."
