I fancy myself a Janeite at heart,
but my life is far from being a romance:
I went through some Dickensian episodes
and sometimes through Kafkaesque situations,
but time taught me to stop being Shakespearean
and to start treating life sarcastically.
I won’t be Balzacian,
so, when things get too sadistic,
prove that you are wiser than them.
