"Cleave ever to God," he insisted, "against the name of God;" and so, in spite of the intensely religious character of his total thought, when he began his career it seemed to many of his brethren in the clerical profession that he was little more than an iconoclast and desecrator.
They regard everyone as a blasphemer and desecrator who thinks that anything written in that roll is erroneous, or even merely human. Plato's doctrines are not amiss, and yet Aristotle had criticised them severely and attempted to confute them.
Rapidly one thought chased another; he saw before him an obstinate barrier to even a lawful alliance with Ione the fellow-champion of Glaucus in the struggle which had baffled his designs the reviler of his name the threatened desecrator of the goddess he served while he disbelieved the avowed and approaching revealer of his own impostures and vices.
Thou who didst trifle so wantonly with Treason, now gravely front the grim comrade thou hast won; thou scheming desecrator of the Household Gods, now learn, to the last page of dark knowledge, what the hearth is without them! Gabriel was strangely moved as he beheld that proud and solitary despair.
He despised the particular Satyr-world which, whatever the nature or station of the woman, crowns the desecrator, and bestows the title of Fool on the worshipper. He could have answered veraciously that she had kept him from folly. Nevertheless the term to service must come.

A scrubbing brush and laundry soap are given to the desecrator, and he is made to go back, perhaps forty miles or more, and with his own hands wash away the proofs of his disgraceful vanity. Not long ago a young man was arrested at six o'clock in the morning, made to leave his bed, and march without his breakfast several miles, to prove that he could be as skillful with a brush as with a pencil.
A peer at the bed a covered face pierced him with a compunction like shame: here was kodesh, and he a desecrator with his earthy passion: so he turned to beat a retreat by the way he had come when a faint sound that way, made by Harris; and, instead, he leapt lightly through a window five feet above the garden.
