CURIOSITY ABOUT EVIL. 129 criminals of the world, bat will with a shuddering awe set his seal to the truth of this proverb ? Indeed, meditating on such and on the source from which we have derived them, one is sometimes tempted to believe that the faith in a Divine retribution which is evermore making itself felt in the world, this sense of a Kemes
...is, as men used to call it, was stronger in the earlier and better days of heathen- dom, than alas ! it is in a sunken Christendom now.
But to resume. Even those proverbs which have assumed a use which seems to unite at once the* trivial and the profane, may yet on closer inspection be found to be very far from having either triviality or profaneness cleaving to them. There is one, for instance, often taken lightly enough upon the lips : Talk of the devils (md he is sure to appear ; or as it used to be : Talk of the devil^ a/ad his imps will appear / or as in German it is : Paint the devil on the waU^ am^d he will show himself a/non / which yet contains truth serious and important enough, if we would only give heed to it : it contains, in fact, a very solemn warning against a very dangerous sin, I mean, curiosity about evil.
