That she had so completely recovered her sanity was a source of sadness to her. One should never be cured of one’s passion.
“Go, silly worm, drudge, trudge, and travel,
Despising pain,
So thou may’st gain
Some honour, or some golden gravel:
But Death the while (to fill his number)
With sudden call
Takes thee from all,
To prove thy days but dream and slumber.”
Joshua Sylvester | “Omnia Somnia”
