Theocritus
Injuries from those to whom Thou hast been Kind
by Theocritus
See the result of my favours!
It is like rearing wolf-whelps or dogs --
To rend you for your pains.

Quotes of the Day
The fact is that love is of two kinds, one which commands, and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct, and the passion to which the one gives rise is not the passion of the other.
• Honore de Balzac
