Mean Temptation Wicked

More From Emily Dickinson

He that plays the king shall be welcome- his majesty shall have tribute of me; the adventurous knight shall use his foil and target; the lover shall not sigh gratis; the humorous man shall end his part in peace; the clown shall make those laugh whose lungs are tickle o' th' sere; and the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt fort.

Time management tips: the perpetual processing of the same temptation is both dangerous and time-wasting. cycling and recycling the same temptation (instead of rejecting such blandishment out of hand) is not only to risk one's soul, again and again, but is to bring on fatigue, so that the adversary may be able to do indirectly what we will not let him do directly. a lack of decisiveness in dealing with temptation ties up our thought processes and prevents us from doing good with the time allotted to us.

Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. ... we never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and christ, because he was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means—the only complete realist.
