"Happiness shames man, my child, it disrupts the order of the world."
Nurse to Alka. From the play Melissa by Nikos Kazantzakis in the collection, Three Plays. Simon & Schuster, New York, 1969 - page 127.
All the better to be happy then.
The casting out of Eden, paradise, rest and play, to work and toil, forever.
Happiness is the road back to Eden, paradise.
