***************
The Papacy is
an empire of secret thoughts
and obscene desires
***************
A man’s religion
may be erroneous; so
also his judgment
***************
Lust is immortal,
and the fruit thereof is the
privilege of flesh
***************
Prudence is nothing
but glory arising from
the chains of virtue
***************
The inclination
of all mankind is toward
perpetual death
***************
Gluttony endures
storms of conscience to voyage
on seas of pleasure
***************
The earth itself is
a commodious prison
of gravitation
***************
Absurdity is
the mother of heresy
and profane laughter
***************
We endure the grave
authority of nature
with restless horror
***************
Not believing in
art is not believing in
the future of time
***************
