My life affrights me.
For when
carefully reviewed, its
whole course shows in my sight like one great sin; or atleast it is
well-nigh nothing but barrenness. Or, if any fruit is seen in it, that
fruit is so false, or so imperfect, or in some way or other so tainted
with decay and corruption, that it must needs either fail to satisfy God, or else utterly offend Him.
St. Anselm
