Many of our modern writers might take a hint from our German forefathers, who, in their barbarian days, held that some vices were to be punished in public, but others buried quickly in oblivion, and who, therefore, punished crime of this sort by binding it in a wicker crate, and sinking it in a pit of mud out of sight for ever.
"The Expositor's Bible: The Gospel of St. John, Vol. I"
Marcus Dods
Destiny has remained a barbarian; it cannot reach souls that have grown nobler than itself.
