“Many a time in night's long empty spaces
I have pondered on the causes of a life's shipwreck. [..] There are many who know good sense. We know the good, we see it clear.
But we can't bring it to achievement. Some are betrayed by their own laziness, and others value some other pleasure above virtue.
There are so many pleasures in this lifelong gossiping talks and leisure, that sweet curse.” Phaedra
