“Over many a race the sun's bright net was spread And loosed their pearls nor left them even a thread. This dire world delights us, though all sup— All whom she mothers—from one mortal cup. Choose from two ills: which rather in the main Suits you? —to perish or to live in pain?” — Abu Al-Alaa Al-Maarri
