For The Happy Tutor:
The flesh had become so insolent in this Roman world that Christian discipline was needed to chasten it. After the banquet of a Trimalchio, a hunger-cure, such as Christianity, was required.
Or did, perhaps, the hoary sensualists seek by scourgings to stimulate the cloyed flesh to renewed capacity for enjoyment? Did ageing Rome submit to monkish flagellations in order to discover exquisite pleasure in torture itself, voluptuous bliss in pain? ~ Heine, The Romantic School.
