... people are growing up in the slack flicker of a pale light which lacks the concentrated burn of a candle flame or oil wick or the bulb of a gooseneck desk lamp: a pale, wavering, oblong shimmer, emitting incessant noise, which is to real knowledge or discourse what the manic or weepy protestations of a drunk are to responsible speech.

Mt. 18:32-33). — Pope Dionysius

This miserable way
is taken by the sorry souls of those
who lived without disgrace and without praise.
They now commingle with the coward angels,

nor faithful to their God, but stood apart.

have cast them out, nor will deep Hell receive them -
even the wicked cannot glory in them. — Dante Alighieri
