No, it won’t do, my sweet theologians. br Desire will not save the morality of God. br If he created beings able to choose between good and evil, br And they chose, and the world lies in iniquity, br Nevertheless, there is pain, and the undeserved torture of creatures, br Which would find its explanation only by assuming br The existence of an archetypal Paradise br And a pre-human downfall so grave br That the world of matter received its shape from diabolic power.
