"My dear, it is very bitter. It is said to be strong--strong as death! Most of the cheats of existence are strong.

It may perish with the dawn of eternity, but it tortures through time into its deepest night."

"My dear, it is very bitter. It is said to be strong - strong as death! As to the sweetness, nothing is so fleeting; but its sting remains for ever. It tortures through time into its deepest night."
