Meaning

The Graces hymn names work-effective boldness with wisdom and excellence at LX.7. These are valuable capacities, but the following argument says that without the Graces they do not arouse life’s joys. The context favours confidence directed into action, not rash aggression simply because the noun can elsewhere carry a harsher sense.
