Background
A description of the experience
Boethius – The Consolation of Philosophy
All pleasures have one quality alike
They drive their devotees with goads.
And like a swarm of bees upon the wing
They first pour out their honey loads
Then turn and strike their victim's heart
And leave behind their deep set sting
