"and every day I thank [God] that I am alive, not because I fear death, but because my wife has a husband and my son is not an orphan."

I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am full of tears and hunger and the fear of death, although I cannot weep, and I want nothing, and I cannot die. I am not like the others now, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret.
