[This, Tertullian should have learned. How happily Keble, in his Christian Year, gives it in sacred verse:— “We need not bid, for cloister’d cell, Our neighbour and our work farewell, Nor strive to wind ourselves too high For sinful man beneath the sky: “The trivial round, the common task, Would furnish all we ought to ask; Room to deny ourselves; a road To bring us daily nearer God.”]
