Every month as it wanes bring you nearer to something dreadful. Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses.

There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better.
