"Perpetual anticipation is good for the soul, but its bad for the heart.
It's very good for practicing self-control.
It's very good for morals, but bad for morale.
It's very bad.
It can lead to going quite mad.
It's very good for reserve and learning to do what one should.
It's very good.
Perpetual anticipation's a delicate art:
Playing a role, aching to start, keeping control while falling apart.
Perpetual anticipation is good for the soul
But it's bad for the heart."
Indeed.
