"Why this is hell, nor am I out of it.
Think'st thou that I, who saw the face of God,
And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?"
Think'st thou that I, who saw the face of God,
And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?"
-- Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus
Doctor Faustus conjuring Mephistophilis (exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures)
