But in hell the torments cannot be overcome by habit, for while they are of terrible intensity they are at the same time of continual variety, each pain, so to speak, taking fire from another and re-endowing that which has enkindled it with a still fiercer flame.” LongStillsEndsPainSpeakHellFireHabitTerribleSorrowOvercomingWeightVarietyThis LifeFlamesIntensityTormentSinking Book:The Best of James Joyce Source: The Best of James Joyce
