De Gourmont Phrasis 11 Recited
REMY de GOURMONT PHRASIS 11
Innocence has its instincts,its needs
its physiological dues, but Grace from
on high so opportunely purifies the
petty human passions,brings character
to a perfect unity.Faithfulness only begins
at the moment of discovering one’s real
vocation.To keep this treasure,one must
have found it first.Beware though,mental
sermons can spoil such delicious moments.
From A Virgin Heart (trans by Huxley) 1922
