that’s the recipe for disaster. that said, it must then be admitted that “disaster” is not the worst thing that can happen. what could be worse? AHA!
Surely, it’s: “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out just how far to go.” T. S. Eliot.
I’ve found credible sources that include or don’t include the “just”. Lacking a primary source of the Preface, I have to leave it as is for the moment.
