Apparently Wrath wins. happy birthday Mayabird!

Stolen from Wakeboard's post to Herr Direktor on her b-day. Cause I'm full of love.

'Eliza Haywood's Life's Progress through the Passions; or, The Adventures of Natura (1748)... explains that for each emotion there is a ... grief and joy alternately succeed each other;--hope has its period in possession;--fear ceases, either by the cause being removed, or by a fatal certainty of some dreaded evil;--ambition dies within us, on a just sense of the folly of pursuing it;--hate is often vanquished by good offices; even greedy avarice may be glutted; and love is, for the most part, fluctuating, and may be terminated by a thousand accidents. (23)

Placing a time limit on each emotion and finding that each has "its antidote," Haywood concludes, "REVENGE alone is implacable and eternal, not to be banished by any other passion whatsoever"'

Happy Birthday
