If man's life is ever worth the living, it is when he has attained this vision of the soul of beauty. And once you have seen it, you will never be seduced again by the charm of gold, of dress, of comely boys, you will care nothing for the beauties that used to take your breath away. And when one discerns this beauty, one will perceive the true virtue, not virtue's semblance. And when a man has brought forth and reared this perfect virtue, he shall be called the friend of God, and if ever it is capable of man to enjoy immortality, it shall then be given to him.
