11 Woolly Pomposities of the Pious "Teacher" Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I do not think that it was any new kind of electricity.

…in both the joy of rectitude Who thinks ‘‘I did the right” and goes rejoicing on the Path of Good. A-many verses though he can recite of Law, the idle man who doth it not Is like an herd who numbereth cows of others, Priesthood him allows nor part nor lot. Who little of the Law can cite, yet knows and walks therein aright, and shuns the snare Of passion, folly, hate entwined: Right Effort liberates his mind, he doth not care For this course done or that to run: surely in Priesthood such an one hath earned a share.
