there's no room in the world of immaterial forms for deprivation ... no good place in logic for the wrong answer ... no good work done in the human soul by sin ... you throw away the pearl of great price because you found a superior beauty ... but it's a rusted twisted piece of iron that needed to be straight ... things get better but when they do they're beyond you ... they should have come sooner ... you're caught you're convicted you're three times wrong ... first count ... you had no faith ... but there was no better choice ... so what you saw you saw poorly ... worst of all sight fails in your memory ... you forget what real things are ... when the prosecution comes you can't remember your defense ... second count ... you've lost all justice ... you no longer have the mind to hold onto it ... the intelligible object is apprehended in the past and your appetite for it is a dissatisfied indefinite yearning ... in your lethargy you're susceptible to suggestion ... you tend to the first temptation and you succumb to its repetition ... when it fails you fall ... third count ... you back the wrong horse ... you serve the wrong boss ... the world of particulars ... the universe gone astray
