From Pandora's Box: A Tragedy in Three Acts by Frank Wedekind

(LULU: Perhaps the encounter will cure you.) (Sighing.) O Lulu, if an eternal retribution does exist, I hope I may not have to answer then for you. I cannot make myself believe that no God watches over us. Yet you are probably right that there is nothing there, for how can an insignificant worm like me have provoked his wrath so as to experience only horror there where all living creation swoons for bliss?
