Crime, like virtue, has its degrees; And timid innocence was never known To blossom suddenly into extreme… — Jean Racine
Crime, like virtue, has its degrees;
And timid innocence was never known
To blossom suddenly into extreme license.
Ainsi que la vertu, le crime a ses dégrés;
Et jamais on n'a vu la timide innocence
Passer subitement à l'extrême licence.
