Once upon a time an angel traveled the road with a man who was seeking wisdom. They passed the gates of a big city and just outside the gate sat a small devil. "Look at that" the man said "This must be a very righteous city they have pushed the devil outside their gates." Further down the road they passed a woman who was put upon by seven devils who provoked her and whispered to her constantly. The man spoke..."this woman must be very evil she keeps company with many devils...she should be shunned". The angel smiled and said "Friend be careful where with you judge...for this city is so wicked that it is kept in bond by one pitiful little imp...and this woman is so righteous that seven devils tempt her day and night and still she does not succumb. It is wisdom in you to withhold judgement and seek understanding.~
I like this fable and wanted to illustrate it...I especially like the face of the woman in the painting she looks so innocent. Thanks to Hieronymus Bosch for the devils.
