A quotation from Racine

HIPPOLYTUS: Great crimes are never single, they are link’d
   To former faults. He who has once transgress’d
   May violate at last all that men hold
   Most sacred; vice, like virtue, has degrees
   Of progress; innocence was never seen
   To sink at once into the lowest depths
   Of guilt.
 
[HIPPOLYTE: Quelques crimes toujours precedent les grands crimes.
   Quiconque a pu franchir les bornes légitimes
   Peut violer enfin les droits les plus sacrés ;
   Ainsi que la vertu, le crime a ses degrés ;
   Et jamais on n’a vu la timide innocence
   Passer subitement à l’extrême licence.]

Jean Racine (1639-1699) French dramatist
Phèdre [Phædra], Act 4, sc. 2, l. 1094ff (1677-01-01) [tr. Boswell (1897)]

I said it when it happened on #TheTraitorsUS — #Phaedra should’ve given the Ultimatum to Peter, not Kate. In the Reunion, he said the same thing! He even thinks she would’ve won if she had! 1st TikTok today: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL84bd9W/

You can also see Peter actually make a good point as a YouTube Short: https://youtube.com/shorts/raRQk-PUkB4?si=FqHmedk0VOnIVCNp

As Kate & #Phaedra thought about who to eliminate on #TheTraitorsUS last week, Kate noted that Peter’s group chose to insulate themselves and play a numbers game even though they were in the minority, so it was only right to play along! 1st TikTok today: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLRyg8wd/

Now spinning at my house, just some Sunday morning space jams from 1970s Germany:

#Phaedra by #TangerineDream, my copy found here in Massachusetts, but made back then in Yugoslavia...cosmic reveries of synths, organs, flute, bass, mellotron...it sends you to the quasars and back
