… sorrow is the most sensitive of all created things. … Better than Wordsworth himself I know what Wordsworth meant when he said: ‘Suffering is permanent, obscure, and dark And has the nature of infinity’. … The only people I would care to be with now are artists and people who have suffered: those who know what beauty is, and those who know what sorrow is: nobody else interests me. *
* Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 to 30 November 1900)
