Beyond love, beyond unrequited love, perhaps even beyond any other passion known to humanity, deep, deep in the depths of the turgid, clinging, swamplike pit of despair that lies dormant within every soul, lurks JEALOUSY. Jealousy, that most demeaning and debilitating of emotions. Jealousy, which can double the strength of the love upon which it is based, but whilst doubling it, warp and pervert it, untill it is no longer recognizable as the thing of beauty it once was. Jealous love is no more like true love than Mr Hyde was like Dr Jekyll or a stagnant swamp is like a freshwater lake.

The actual story of Damoclēs and his monarch Dionysius is of no relevance here, except, that is, for the punch line, which left Damoclēs sitting at dinner beneath a naked sword suspended from the ceiling by a single thread. The moral of the legend being that a person’s situation in life is always chancy. Another moral might have been that if you find yourself at dinner with a sword hanging over your head, move seats.
