"There are those who would say--and be proud to say--that there is no greater glory than God's, and no greater joy or purpose than the serving of him," says Laertes. "But if I had met a man who made a beautiful thing ... if it were the most beautiful thing in the world, a jewel beyond price, infinite in its variety, wondrous from every angle and a remedy for every ailment ... still I would come to hate that man, if he demanded eternal praise for the making of it. Even more would I hate that man, if he required that we should never take delight in it, but only look to the creator. But if he desired our suffering as the price for the making of it, and indeed, if our suffering were necessary not to enrich the work but to glorify its creator--I would have no greater enemy on Earth or in heaven."
