Excerpt from ''Til We Have Faces.'

     But now I discovered the wonderful power of wine.
I understand why men become drunkards.
     For the way it worked on me was -
not at all that it blotted out these sorrows -
but that it made them seem glorious and noble,
like sad music, and I somehow great and revered
for feeling them.
