It is well known what kinds of delusions and missteps people often fall into when they wish to regain health and vitality lost through their own fault. After having wallowed in the puddles of vice, indulged in unrestrained excesses, and drained the cup of lust to the dregs of boredom and disgust; when their life's bloom has withered in this dirty service, their strength paralyzed, and their senses unsettled; they then feel the seed of impending death in their limbs, and the desire awakens within them to rekindle the already fading flame of life and keep it alive for as long as possible; yet they do not take the only natural path to their healing and revitalization, nor do they return to a simple and moderate life; no, that path is too burdensome and extensive for them; they expect art to accomplish what.
