...play's chief aim," Sade observes, "has been to take to bits Great Propositions and their opposites." On the emotional plane, however, there is no doubt about who wins.

No, none of these times. It was always the following day when you'd sobered up sufficiently enough to feel guilty. When you'd come back...
