The piece is, from every possible point of view, a concentration about a text by Nietzsche, one that has a nihilist and pessimistic tone.
It is evident the interest to discredit Western conceptions such as truth by means of the contradictory and irremediable use of the main human fallacy, language.
And it says:
A movable army of metaphors, metonymies, anthropomorphisms, in short, a sum of human relations that have been highlighted, extrapolated, and poetically and rhetorically adorned, and that, after a prolonged use, are considered to be firm, canonical, and binding by people; truths are illusions, of those we have forgotten that actually are; metaphors that have worn out and that have no sensitive force; coins that have lost their strikes and are no longer considered to be coins, just metal.
Jorge Wellesley, 2010.
