Even the children, who were vigorously intimidated during the “lessons of edification,” no longer played in the debonair way natural to healthy and happy youngsters, but shrank as a cur shrinks in expectation of a blow. They flagged as do flowers which have never known sufficient sunlight, but have been kept in semi-darkness. —The Neglected Books Page, The Right to Heresy: Castellio Against Calvin, by Stefan Zweig
