Geertgen tot Sint Jans, Johannes der Täufer, 1631
Whereas, if I sinke in this sorrow, in this dejection of spirit, though it were Wine in the beginning, it is lees, and tartar in the end; Inordinate sorrow growes into sinfull melancholy, and that melancholy, into an irrecoverable desperation.
John Donne, Sermon preached upon Trinity-Sunday, 1621
