I, proud of my murmur, intend to speak at length
Of goddesses: and with idolatrous paintings
Remove again from shadow their waists' bindings:
So that when I've sucked the grapes' brightness
To banish a regret done away with by my pretence,
Laughing, I raise the emptied stem to the summer's sky
And breathing into those
luminous
skins, then I,
Desiring drunkenness, gaze through them till evening.

Priests are the actors of something which is supernatural, either in the way of ideals, gods, or
saviours, and they have to make people believe in them; in this they find their calling, this is the purpose of their instincts; in order to make it as credible as possible, they have to exert themselves
to the utmost extent in the art of posing; their actor's
sagacity
must, above all, aim at giving them a clean conscience, by means of which, alone, it is possible to persuade effectively.
