Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life.

Summary

This quote suggests that sin, or wrongdoing, is the only remaining aspect of life that still holds a sense of true authenticity or realness. In the context of modern life, which may be characterized by conformity, superficiality, or the loss of genuine experiences, sin stands out as an element that retains a raw and unfiltered quality. It implies that sin challenges the mundane or fabricated aspects of contemporary existence, serving as a reminder of the enduring human capacity for transgression and individuality.

I'm not a guy who curses very much in my personal life. When I curse it sounds like a kid trying to be cool. But I think there are quite a few people, my father being one of them, who use curse words rather eloquently.

That time of year thou mayst in me beholdWhen yellow leaves,

That time of year thou mayst in me beholdWhen yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hangUpon those boughs which shake against the cold,Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.In me thou seest the twilight of such dayAs after sunset fadeth in the west,Which by and by black night doth take away,Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.In me thou see'st the glowing of such fireThat on the ashes of his youth doth lie,As the death-bed whereon it must expireConsumed with that which it was nourish'd by.This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
