That (abode) they do not reach who, rather than the recital of the deeds of the destroyer of sin, listen to bad talk on other subjects, which kills the intelligence; and those (tales), once heard, have their substance taken away by luckless men — and they, alas, hurl such men into darknesses where there is no shelter.
