Hawthorne
Matthew 26:33-35
Peter answered and said to him, Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet will I never be offended.…


remarks that Italian asseverations of any questionable fact, though uttered with rare earnestness of manner, never vouch for themselves as coming from any depth, like roots drawn out of the substance of the soul, with some of the soil clinging to them. Their energy expends itself in exclamation. The vaulting ambition of their hyperboles overleaps itself, and falls on the other side.
