“They thought Bacchus was presiding over the festivities, until Nemisis appeared - the retributive goddess whom the Romans aptly called Invidia. Nothing would surive but the stories, the tales of a quest for lasting pleasure, which left a trace of beauty: the disarray of falling stars didn't come to naught after all.” — Sarah Churchwell
