I often regret having come into this pretty world; not that I hate the world.
No ... I love the world, I love high society & even the demi-monde, since
I'm a sort of demi-mondain myself.
But what have I come to do on this Earth, which is so earthly and so earthy? Do I have duties to perform here? Have I come here to carry out a mission — a commission? Have I been sent here to amuse myself? to enjoy myself a little? ... to forget the miseries of a beyond which I no longer remember? Am I not unwelcome here? What should I say to all these questions? Thinking, almost from the moment of my arrival, that I was doing some good down here, I began to play a few musical airs which I myself had invented ... All my troubles stemmed from there.
