The Rosary of a Genre An Essay Read in Sidney Lyceum
The piece ponders aging by inner truth rather than outward signs and contrasts youth and old age with moral self-denial. It argues that small temptations test virtue as much as large crises and warns that habit alone cannot justify petty evils.
Temptation and humanity in the flood of desire
The piece compares temptation to a flood breaking bounds and wrecking moral order. It argues all humans are vulnerable, with strength relative and relief found in humility, charity, and recognizing innate weakness while warning against indulgence and lenient judgment. It notes hunger, love, and need as core drivers shaping conduct.
