Description
Taking its title from a line from a sermon from Lancelot Andrewes (once based at Pembroke, Cambridge) - 'we are all weak and crazy when we would repent, but lusty and strong when to commit sin' - here is the fitting end to a trilogy unmatched for bold self-analysis, yearning for salvation, and poetic exuberance.
