“Who can understand transgressions?” (Ps 18:13 LXX)
But what sort of sweetness can there be in sins, where there is no understanding?
For who can understand sins, which close the very eye,
to which truth is pleasant, to which the judgments of God are desirable and sweet?
Yea, as darkness closes the eye, so do sins the mind, and suffer it not to see either the light, or itself.
St. Augustine
