M: sade, dit-moi:
Qu'est-ce que tu vas chercher?
Le bien par le mal?
La vertu par le vice?
Sade, dit-moi: pourquoi l'évangile du mal?
Quelle est ta religion, oů sont tes fidčles?
Si tu es contre dieu, tu es contre l'homme.
{ sade, tell me:
What are you going to seek?
The best through the worst?
Virtue through vice?
Sade, tell me: why the gospel of evil?
What is your religion, where is your congregation?
If you are against god, you are against man.

Pleasure without love.

In the worship of the man?
