Well…committing sin is no crime. The real crime is to be discovered committing it, isn't it?
CXXI
'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed,
When not to be receives reproach of being;
And the just pleasure lost, which is so deemed
Not by our feeling, but by others' seeing:
For why should others' false adulterate eyes
Give salutation to my sportive blood?
Or on my frailties why are frailer spies,
Which in their wills count bad what I think good?
No, I am that I am, and they that level
At my abuses reckon up their own:
I may be straight though they themselves be bevel;
By their rank thoughts, my deeds must not be shown;
Unless this general evil they maintain,
All men are bad and in their badness reign…

hey, there must be something wrong with me - I'm shopping for new curtains to my room for the second week now and still haven't bought any!!!
Why there is never anything that I want and always plenty of what I don't? I now think, re-building the room was actually, the easiest part...:-(
