Even in misery we love to be foremost, to have the bitter in our cup acknowledged as more bitter than that of others.

Even in misery we love to be foremost, to have the bitter in our cup acknowledged as more bitter than that of others.

Even in misery we love to be foremost, to have the bitter in our cup acknowledged as more bitter than that of others.

Even in misery we love to be foremost, to have the bitter in our cup acknowledged as more bitter than that of others.
