Dangerous thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Said Myrtias (a Syrian student<\/p>\n

in Alexandria during the reign<\/p>\n

of the Emperor Konstans and the Emperor Konstantios;<\/p>\n

in part a heathen, in part christianized):<\/p>\n

\u201cStrengthened by study and reflection.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t fear my passions like a coward;<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give my body to sensual pleasures,<\/p>\n

to enjoyments I\u2019ve dreamed of,<\/p>\n

to the most audacious erotic desires,<\/p>\n

to the lascivious impulses of my blood,<\/p>\n

with no fear at all, because when I wish\u2014<\/p>\n

and I\u2019ll have the will-power, strengthened<\/p>\n

as I shall be by study and reflection\u2014<\/p>\n

when I wish, at critical moments I will recover<\/p>\n

my spirit, ascetic as it was before.\u201d<\/p>\n
