Why did you wish me milder? would you have me
False to my nature? Rather say I play

“I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say. They are not brave, the days when we are twenty one.

― Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

― Hugh Howey, Wool Omnibus
