"For in truth, to adopt a mania is like
applying a poultice to the soul: it can
cure any *taedium vitae*, any spleen.
Let all those no longer able to drain
what has always been called 'the cup of
joy' take to collecting something (even
advertisement bills), and in this they
will find the solid gold of happiness
minted into small coinage.
Balzac, "Cousin Pons",
Tran. Herbert J Hunt.
