Epigraph
Only part of us is sane: only part of us loves pleasure and the longer day of happiness, wants to live to our nineties and die in peace, in a house we built, that shall shelter those who come after us. The other half of us is... (show all) nearly mad. It prefers the disagreeable to the agreeable, loves pain and its darker night despair, and wants to die in a catastrophe that will set back life to its beginning and leave nothing of our house save its blackened foundations. —REBECCA WEST, BLACK LAMB AND GREY FALCON
