From 'The Glastonbury Romance' (1933) by John Cowper Powys:
"...Miss Crow had experienced the eternal alternations, the great antipodal feelings of human experience, the shudder of death and 'the pleasure which there is in life itself!' And she was a woman to miss little, though she kept her own counsel of these experiences!"
Cf: 'The Conspiracy Against The Human Race' by Thomas Ligotti
