Unlike Judaism, it kept almost no rituals that took place in private homes. The esteem that monasticism and priestly celibacy enjoyed implied a denigration of marriage and parenthood.” “The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.” |
