propagation, n.All

Propagation (n.) spends ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠itself in a spurious infinite: the genus preserves itself only by destroying the individuals who generate it.

Propagation (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠an instinct Christianity sought to weaken, yet it has become the serious business of Christendom — and the clergyman gets a little something for each child.
