The Fool Errant
The Fool Errant
Being the Memoirs of Francis-Antony Strelley, Esq. Citizen of Lucca
Book Excerpt
rofessed, instead
of abhorring, the Cynic school of philosophy, I might go on to ask what
were love but an ointment, or religion but a tinted glass. I can thank
my Redeemer, as I sit here in my green haven, with the stormy sea of my
troubles afar off, beating in vain against the walls of contentment,
that through all my vicissitudes I was never tempted to stray into such
blasphemous imaginations. Fool as I have been, and fool as I have
declared myself upon the forefront of this very book, I have never said
in my heart, THERE IS NO GOD; but much and loudly have maintained the
affirmative. And although I have been sadly, wickedly, detestably errant
from His way, there is one divine precept which I have never failed to
keep, and that is, LOVE ONE ANOTHER. All other affections, additions,
accidents, accessories of men, however, from the lowest, which is Money,
to the highest, which is Polite Education, I have been able to discard
without concern or loss of self-respect. This fact alone should furnish
good reason
