"With Zeus also they represent one Hephaestus as a god, and him lame, holding hammer and fire-tongs, and working as a copper- smith for hire. So it appeareth that he is needy. But it is impossible for one who is lame and wanteth men's aid to be a God.英文原著 · 《Barlaam and Ioasaph》
The swoon of the mother of Hamish lasted for a length of time-- the longer perhaps that her constitution, strong as it was, must have been much exhausted by her previous agitation of three days' endurance.

Lamennais said: "She does not forgive St. Paul for having said: `Wives, obey your husbands.'"
