consciousness of sin, n.All

The Consciousness of sin (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠most earnest in its simplest form, as the true lover says only "I am in love" and brings no crowd of witnesses to prove he loves more than others.

Consciousness of sin (n.) cannot ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠come from an orator who points at you thundering "Thou art a sinner!" — that turns the church into a booth at the fair; a man understands his sin only alone with the Holy One who knows all things.
