The Appearance of Women by Tertullian
As a matter of fact, pagan literature tells us that this same gold whose glory preoccupies you was used by a certain people for chains. Therefore these things are not good because of their intrinsic value but because they are rare.
──Women Defamed and Women Defended, edited by Alcuin Blamires with Karen Pratt and C. W. Mark
事實上,異教徒文學裡也曾告訴我們一件事:那讓人對它感到十分著迷的黃金,其實有些人是把它拿來做手鍊腳鐐的。說起來,黃金也不算是什麼好東西。但不是因為它的本質,而是因為它的稀少。
os: 我們常說:物以稀為貴。但這段話說的是完全相反的概念。作者其實是用黃金來形容女人,想表達的是男人對女人的慾望是既可載舟,又可覆舟。有了這種慾望才能不斷地有亞當夏娃的後代,但同樣也會讓男人墜入無底深淵。講到這裡,我想到的是:桃色陷阱還有仙人跳⋯
