I'll avoid the debate on pronunciation by giving Thuis a later, Arabic
name, and apologise to the old boy himself for bending his own words
into rhyme:
Serapion, bishop of Al Mouradeh
Said 'passions are purified by charity,
the mind's done by praying,
appetites by naysaying'.
Which put it with typical clarity.
Couldn't resist it.
