Our passions are like convulsion fits, which, though they make us stronger for a time, leave us the weaker ever after.

Our passions are like convulsion fits, which, though they make us stronger for a time, leave us the weaker ever after.

我们的激情就像一阵痉挛，虽然能让我们暂时变得更强，但过后却会变得更弱。

-- Alexander Pope 亚历山大·波普
