Have you ever said Yes to a single joy? O my friends, then you have said Yes too to all woe. All things are entangled, ensnared, enamored; if ever you wanted one thing twice, if ever you said, ''You please me, happiness! Abide, moment!'' then you wanted all back. All anew, all eternally, all entangled, ensnared, enamored -- oh, then you loved the world.
For all joy wants -- eternity.
