'Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life,
to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado,
and without so much as a rap o'er the pate,
or a kick of the guts;
to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle,
and die merely of the mulligrubs,
or the sullens.
— Miguel De Cervantes 1547-1616, Spanish Novelist, Dramatist, Poet
