Unseemly, I know, to comment in the official pre-decision phase...but (perhaps close to home?) ROTFLMAO.

"And soon, mechanically, dispirited after a dreary day with the depressing morrow, I raised to my lips a spoonful of the tuna in which I had dipped a morsel of bread. No sooner had the crunchy salad mixed with the crumbs touched my palate than a shudder ran through me and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me. An exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses, something isolated, detached, with no suggestions of its origin. And at once, the vicissitudes of life had become different to me..."
