I'm sure that it's Anathema, Heresy and Sacrilege to say it, but a canter through morality, ethics and personal morals / mores if one likens it to, say, 'Paradise Lost' (12 Books) + 'Paradise Regained' (another 4), or even Macbeth's hesitation soliloquy ?https://t.co/yNfBJczg3p https://t.co/bq8hm7xdT5
