Excerpt from Confessions to a Heathen Idol

But though you are all that I have longed for, I do not intend to worship you, nor say my prayers to you. Your work as a god you left behind you in the land of the lotus and the pine. You will have a difi'erent but no less onerous position in your new temple, for you are to be confessor to strictly honest confessions. I shall not come to you for absolution, although I may confess to you many venial sins. If I do tell you of my sins it will be for the sake of hearing them vocalized so that I may judge them for myself. So much of our inner living is vague because it is never chained to judgment by words.
