"No, it won't do, my sweet theologians.
DESIRE WILL NOT SAVE THE MORALITY OF GOD.
IF HE CREATED BEINGS ABLE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
AND THEY CHOSE, AND THE WORLD LIES IN INIQUITY,
NEVERTHELESS, THERE IS PAIN, AND THE DESERVED TORTURE OF CREATURES,
WHICH WOULD FIND ITS EXPLANATION ONLY BY ASSUMING
THE EXISTENCE OF AN ARCHETYPAL PARADISE
AND A PRE-HUMAN DOWNFALL SO GRAVE
THAT THE WORLD OF MATTER RECEIVED ITS SHAPE FROM DIABOLIC POWERS."
BY CZELAW MILOZC, NOBEL LAUREATE, 1980, FROM AN IMPRINT, HARPER COLLINS PUBLISHERS-NEW AND COLLECTED POEMS 1931-2001=2001
