But if true good has two essential parts, The one, our will, the other intellect, These two together cannot be fulfilled Because the mind, bound up inside the flesh, Can never comprehend the good- confined, It always yearns to soar to greater heights.

It's always anxious, filled with ever more.

Impassioned longing for the good it lacks:

. . .

the good is not found here,

For while the soul is bound in carnal bonds, Confined within this prison's gloom, it will Always be governed by desire and doubt.

The soul is so wrapped up in error when It's body-bound, that it won't know itself Until its liberation is complete.

We see, therefore, that once it's severed from the flesh, the happy soul experiences the consummate attainment of its good.

Lorenzo di Medici, The Supreme Good, 1473-4
