No sooner is your ocean filled, than he grumbles that it might have been of better vintage. Try him with half of a Universe, of an Omnipotence, he sets to quarrelling with the proprietor of the other half and declares himself the most maltreated of men. Always there is a black spot in our sunshine: it is even as I said the 'Shadow of Ourselves'. - Thomas Carlyle
