“Frau Stöhr ... began to talk about how fascinating it was to cough.... Sneezing was much the same thing. You kept on wanting to sneeze until you simply couldn’t stand it any longer; you looked as if you were tipsy; you drew a couple of breaths, then out it came, and you forgot everything else in the bliss of the sensation. Sometimes the explosion repeated itself two or three times. That was the sort of pleasure life gave you free of charge.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“No other sun has lightened up my heaven,
No other star has ever shone for me;
All my life’s bliss from thy dear life was given,
All my life’s bliss is in the grave with thee.”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
