'Mother, said he, 'I was wrong. I'm fretted by many things. I shouldn't ha' spoken so. It was ill-done of me.
That is why the great teachers of humanity, Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Zoroaster, were all apostles of expiation, living symbols of repentance. Man is by nature a sinner, that is, not essentially ILL-DOING, but rather ILL-DONE, and it is his destiny to perpetually re-create his ideal in himself.
At last merry Robin cried, "Hold thy hand, good friend!" whereupon both lowered their swords. "Now I crave a boon ere we begin again," quoth Robin, wiping the sweat from his brow; for they had striven so long that he began to think that it would be an ill-done thing either to be smitten himself or to smite so stout and brave a fellow. "What wouldst thou have of me?" asked the Friar.
