incapacity, n.All

Incapacity (n.) has ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠its own timing: a boy, a man, and a eunuch are 'incapable of begetting' in three distinct senses.

Incapacity (n.) once ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠seen in yourself stops you forcing others to be heroes — and it too wants to live, though it will overthrow your Gods.

Incapacity (n.) teaches ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a great deal to the one who learns to live with it: it leads to valuing the smallest things and to wise limitation.

Incapacity (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠pass for virtue in the old: you must ask what you are refusing to do and what you simply can no longer do.

Incapacity (n.) cannot ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be slain and risen above: it will demand its share of life, and greater height needs a virtue we must first create by learning to live with it.

Incapacity (n.) of ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the subject, in the sublime, betrays the consciousness of an unlimited capacity of the same subject — which the mind can judge aesthetically only through that incapacity.
