Nonnulla enim pars inventionis est, nosse quid quaeras


Seduced by the silk of Ariadne's thread, I am that Sin which must bless & spin the Minotaur's maze
Now Mahishasura is dead, to whom confess, if so to do but renew Durga's praise?
All is as are the eyes of dams overflowing with the milk of reproach
Wine is what makes the Saqi difficult of approach. 


Note. 
The title is from the Latin of St. Augustine who championed the doctrine of predestination. The meaning is- 'A considerable part of discovery is knowing what you are looking for.'

A Catholic website explains- The Confessions (towards A.D. 400) are, in the Biblical sense of the word confiteri, not an avowal or an account, but the praise of a soul that admires the action of God within itself
