said Hegel, meaning
wisdom comes at the
end of civilization
The consolation of philosphy
said Boethius
as he was awaiting
a blameless execution
comes from within and virtue is all one
ever really has because it is the one
thing not at the mercy of fortune.
which is to say
mercy is the only thing one really ever has
because it is the one thing not a virtue of fortune.
