The teachers were out , and the principal was out , and they made sure we got into the classrooms and stuff . They thought I could be trusted to interpret for them honestly , and they called me in to interpret and they wanted to talk to a Chinese priest who came from Hong Kong , and was the representative of some international board or something . And he got in there , and they showed him the entire record , did they not , Mr. Bergey ? She was right , and they were wrong . And if a poet writes of the sufferings of Niobe - - the subject of the tragedy in which these iambic verses occur - - or of the house of Pelops , or of the Trojan war or on any similar theme , either we must not permit him to say that these are the works of God , or if they are of God , he must devise some explanation of them such as we are seeking ; he must say that God did what was just and right , and they were the better for being punished ; but that those who are punished are miserable , and that God is the author of their misery - - the poet is not to be permitted to say ; though he may say that the wicked are miserable because they require to be punished , and are benefited by receiving punishment from God ; but that God being good is the author of evil to any one is to be strenuously denied , and not to be said or sung or heard in verse or prose by any one whether old or young in any well-ordered commonwealth . They might be screwed now , but they were screwed to begin with .
