“ Life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel. ”
Présente je vous fuis; absente, je vous trouve;Dans le fond des forêts votre image me suit
~ Jean Racine
A tragedy need not have blood and death, it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy.
I have loved him too much not to hate
Twas easier to disarm the god of strengthThan this Hippolytus, for HerculesYielded so often to the eyes of beauty,As to make triumph cheap.― Jean Racine, Phèdre
