But in the meantime, in your anxious state of expectation, you refrain from honest pleasures: you do not go to our shows, you take no part in our processions, you are not present at our public banquets, you shrink in horror from our sacred games, from food ritually dedicated by our priests, from drink hallowed by libation poured upon our altars. . . . The result is, you pitiable fools, that you have no enjoyment of life while you wait for the new life which you will never have. (70)
