The disgrace of gold is in its being permeated with earthy matter; if this be worked out the gold is left and is beautiful isolated from all that is other than itself, gold with gold alone. And so the soul ; let it but be cleared of the desires that come by its too intimate commerce with the body, emancipate from all the passions, purged from all that has accrued by its embodiment, withdrawn, a soli- tary, to itself again in that moment the ugli- ness, that came only from the alien nature, is s...tripped away.
VI.
For, as the ancient teaching was, Saving- Restraint and Courage and every virtue, and even Wisdom itself, are but a purification. Hence the Mysteries with good reason adum- brate the immersion in filth of the unpurified even in the lower world of Hades, since all that is unclean has a friendly feeling for filth for its very evil's sake, and swine, foul of body, take their joy in foulness.
What else is the true virtue of Saving- Restraint but to have no converse in the 22 PLOTINUS pleasures of the body, to break away from them as neither clean nor worthy of the clean ?
