And as the gods arestrange, and punish us for what is good and humane in us as much asfor what is evil and perverse, I must accept the fact that one ispunished for the good as well as for the evil that one does. Ihave no doubt that it is quite right one should be. It helps one,or should help one, to realise both, and not to be too conceitedabout either. And if I then am not ashamed of my punishment, as Ihope not to be, I shall be able to think, and walk, and live withfreedom.
