In wilful blindness Puritanism refuses to see that the true method of prevention is the one which makes it clear to all that "venereal diseases are not a mysterious or terrible thing, the penalty of the sin of the flesh, a sort of shameful evil branded by purist malediction, but an ordinary disease which may be treated and cured."
But it revealed drift on drift of snow piled high around the hut a hopeless, uncharted, trackless sea of white lying below the rocky shores to which the castaways still clung. Through the marvelously clear air the smoke of the pastoral village of Poker Flat rose miles away. Mother Shipton saw it, and from a remote pinnacle of her rocky fastness hurled in that direction a final malediction.

You have braved me, and shall feel my power. Look at her, Henry see how she shrinks before the gaze of an injured woman. Look me in the face, minion you cannot! you dare not!"
I can well sustain the idea of the world's malediction, but not of yours; but this has decided me upon avowing all to you." "What! and but for this thought, you would have had the courage to conceal yourself forever from me? Ah, dear Henri, what have I done that you should take this care of my life? By what fault have I deserved to survive you, if you die?
Patrick gave no malediction to any of the twelve sons of Caelbad, except to the king alone i.e., Saran. It was he that had acted disobediently to him.
Ask it of all nature, which knows neither halt nor repose, and who, according to the profound saying of Goethe "has pronounced her malediction upon all that retards or suspends her progress."
