Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Seduction and Rebuff

This world seduces us with its goods, but then rebuffs us with its evils, as if to say,

I am good and beautiful but only because of my source in Goodness and Beauty. So love me, not for myself, idolatrously, but for what I make manifest.
