Quote by Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl o

The world is filled with folly and sin, And Love must cling, where it can, I say: For Beauty is easy enough to win; But one is n't loved every day.

The world is filled with folly and sin, And Love must cling,

For us there is only one season, the season of sorrow. The very sun and moon seem taken from us. Outside, the day may be blue and gold, but the light that creeps down through the thickly-muffled glass of the small iron-barred window beneath which one sits is grey and niggard. It is always twilight in one's cell, as it is always twilight in one's heart. And in the sphere of thought, no less than in the sphere of time, motion is no more.
