Here comes Blicero's twin brother --

None spoke. The judge sat half naked and sweating for all 
the night was cool. At length the expriest Tobin looked up.

It strikes me, he said, that either son is equal in the
way of disadvantage. So what is the way of raising a
child?

At a young age, said the judge, they should be put in a
pit with wild dogs. They should be set to puzzle out
from their proper clues the one of three doors that does
not harbor wild lions. They should be made to run naked
in the desert until ...

Hold now, said Tobin. The question was put in all 
earnestness.

And the answer, said the judge. If God meant to interfere
in the degeneracy of mankind would he not have done so 
by now? Wolfes cull themselves, man. What other creature 
could? And is the race of man not more predacious yet?
The way of the world is to bloom and to flower and die 
but in the affairs of men there is no waning and the 
noon of his expression signals the onset of night. His
spirit is exhausted at the peak of its achievement. His
meridian is at once his darkening and the evening of his
day. He loves games? Let him play for stakes. This you 
see here, these ruins wondered at by the tribes of savages,
do you not think that this will be again? Aye. And again. 
With other people, with other sons.
