"Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses,
always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss. But they survive, they come to the surface again.
And they develop a routine of the abyss:
“It’s four o’clock … At five I have my abyss."
Colette - Le Pur et l'Impur / The Pure and the Impure (1932)
