FATHER

"...Each of us, face to face with other men, is clothed with some sort of
dignity, but we know only too well all the unspeakable things that go on in the
hert. We surrender, we give in to temptation: but afterwards we rise up out of
it very quickly, in a desperate hurry to rebuild our dignity, whole and firm as
if it were a gravestone that would cover every sign and memory of our shame, and
hide it from even our own eyes."
