No more for me such pleasures thrilling, All that rejoices, that has life, All that exults,-brings but despondence To one past passion as past strife, All is but prose to such as he, Wearied unto satiety.
"Russian Lyrics"
Translated by Martha Gilbert Dickinson Bianchi
From such lonely despondence as she had never known he had lifted her into a new and brighter world.
"The Orchard of Tears"
Sax Rohmer
I made many inquiries from my landlady as to the society of the place, but the answers I received only led to greater despondence.
