-. . . A man from their own school cries out, These were Homers fictions, transferring things human to the gods; would he had brought down things divine to us! Yet more truly would he have been if he had said, These are indeed his fictions; but attributing a divine nature to wicked men, that crimes might be no longer crimes, and whoso commits them might seem to imitate not abandoned men, but celestial gods. ~ Saint Augustine. A warning to the Christian to be careful what they embrace for the sake of it being a classic. There are many a thing that the world has named and deemed a classic that a christian should have no part in. In the world but not of the world, is what the Christian is called to. Set apart to Christ a holy priesthood. Our sanctification is His will. One should never allow ones self to listen or watch or do something for the soul reason that is is a classic. The word classic has never been defined as good in any language.
