Two souls in wondering what it is all about, not knowing perhaps that one or the other may be removed from the sphere of misery and spend the rest of the span in happiness while the other will perhaps be even yet punished further in to the gutter of life and live of the refuse of despair and perish a suffering as not made _____ _______ and destined to.  L. Dolice 1924
