Click more to read the whole aphorism. Here Balthasar gets deep into an existing but non-occurring mess in other than the imagination. What a time that Barroco. LOL. He, of course survives the miserable church for which he's forced to speak occasionally to avoid unemployement and the tower. That's why reading Quevedo is important in complementation to Balthasar.
