And suppose that the watcher has no desire in his heart save this one desire of the world's delight — what then ? That is the terrible disillusion of the flesh, a... cruel mockery of the true awakening; and for the man on whom it falls — as it must some day fall on every man of insight, either the false disillusion or the true awakening — there is nothing left but the endless rage of endeavour to hold fast an illusion which no longer deceives, or the sullen apathy of despair, or the unthinking submission to his ever coarsening appetites.
