A quotation from Joseph Addison
“Censure,” says a late ingenious author, “is the tax a man pays for being eminent.” It is a folly for an eminent man to think of escaping it, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph.
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101Sourcing, notes: wist.info/addison-joseph/77248…

How long until each news headline is followed by "This story brought to you by Alka-Seltzer" ?

Millard has tried to heed his father’s #reproach
“You are weak, Millard. You are susceptible to the wiles of loose women and libation. You have no self-discipline,” his father had said in a searing lecture that May morning when he was summarily dispatched to Boston University to study economics.
“Make something of yourself,” his father had said. “Prove you are worthy.”Millard could feel the heat on his face even after all these months.

In the shadows, the cold is remorseless and
Full of reproach. 'Go away,' it says, 'and
Find the sun on this crisp morning. Don't
Linger here in the dark. Go, and leave me
Alone.' I can't find the way out of this
Forest of melancholy, and don't want the
Light to find my eyes and blind me with
The defined and sharp contours of reality.
I sit on the snow by the icy tree, and close
My eyes and ears. No more...#MastoPrompt #reproach #SmallPoems #Poetry #MicroFiction #SmallStories

On the bed, old man's morning stretches,
I close my eyes, and the years wind back,
All those empty days, and the board games
On top of the wardrobe. I reproach myself
For all the lost hours and afternoons I have closed
Myself away from my children to do
Nothing more than write my imaginations
On to lots of bits of paper.#MastoPrompt #reproach #SmallPoems #Poetry #MicroFiction #SmallStories

For all the love we gave Donny
His absentmindedness regularly earned reproachDonny lived in the world moment by moment
his innocence so easily overlookedDespite the certainty of Walter
and the blitzkrieg of his invectivesDonny lived until he could live no more

Reproach - an Acrostic
Resentment boils deep
Endlessly replaying
Perhaps you could explain
Reason your way out of it
Only you could hurt me this way
And you did, relentlessly
Can I ever forgive you?
How can you expect me to? -
In the vein of slam poetry
#reproach #MastoPrompt @tanweerdarSocial media beyond reproach but I’m going to need a new coach. The dude who owns the other site is a cockroach. Fighting, biting, living in the darkness. Running away in the light always behind the scene but never in sight. Always wanting attention and trying to pick a fight. Looking forward to more humane engagement, not excrement. Time for a new approach. Time for a “re-proach”

You #reproach me. And I, like anyone else, am not beyond reproach. But hear me out, please! My behaviour and my actions were in self-defense, I swear. The cockroaches incessantly encroached into my personal space. And oh how they multiplied. What’s more is they were cock-sure of themselves, those roaches, they knew the power they had over me. They mocked me! So when they finally broke into my brain. I burnt it all down. YES I did it! But Sir's, they are still alive.
