Bats and ready-mades [Nordau]

Like bats in old towers, they are niched in the proud monument of civilLzation, which they have found ready-made, but they themselves can construct nothing more, nor prevent any deterioration. They live, like parasites, on labour which past generations have, accumulated for them; and when the heritage is once consumed, they are condemned to die of hunger. (p. 540)
