Analysis of My Antipathy
Friedrich Schiller 1759 (Marbach am Neckar) – 1805 (Weimar)
I have a heartfelt aversion for crime,--a twofold aversion,
Since 'tis the reason why man prates about virtue so much.
"What! thou hatest, then, virtue?"--I would that by all it were practised,
So that, God willing, no man ever need speak of it more.
