“I do not think that
all who choose wrong roads perish; but their rescue consists in being put back
on the right road. A [mathematical] sum [incorrectly worked] can be put right:
but only by going back till you find the error and [then] working it afresh
from that point, never by simply going on.
Evil can be undone, but it cannot ‘develop’ into good. Time does not heal it.
The spell must be unwound.”
C.S. Lewis, The Great
Divorce (1946), viii.
