that it lives for ever.

I am to be broken.
I am to be derided all my life. I am to be cast up and down
among these men and women, with their twitching faces, with
their lying tongues, like a cork on a rough sea. Like a ribbon
of weed I am flung far every time the door opens.
-- Virginia Woolf
1882-1941, British Novelist,
