James Kenneth Stephen Quote

The world's a jest, and joy's a trinket:
I knew that once: but now—I think it.


'Senex to Matt. Prior' (1891)


The world's a jest, and joy's a trinket: I knew that once: but now—I think it.

The world's a jest, and joy's a trinket: I knew that once: but now—I think it.

The world's a jest, and joy's a trinket: I knew that once: but now—I think it.

The world's a jest, and joy's a trinket: I knew that once: but now—I think it.
