"He too was dinnerless, but in this case it was voluntary and prudential, a penance for lusting after Laura Fielding and (he hoped) a means of reducing his concupiscence..."
--Patrick O'Brian, Treason's Harbour, 57
From Seamus Deane's notes on Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man:
"Concupiscence is the appetite of the fallen state. It is an incentive to sin, not a sin in itself."
