Our habits of reading and interpretation develop our moral life and reflect its quality. The commandments to have no other gods before the One God, to honor father and mother, and to refrain from bearing false witness all bear upon the valid interpretation of texts; those to love one another and to do to others as we would have them do to us further bears upon our relationship with authors, whether or not they are still in the flesh.
Show me how you treat a text, and I will show you how you treat other people, the hard-won fruits of their labor, and the gifts of their contemplation.
Ibi sunt qui ante nos fuerunt..
