A great common interest had welded these souls together,
while they overheated themselves at the great fire of love, and worked
themselves up to an overflowing omni-benevolence towards every living thing,
pressed each other's hands and separated with blessings and congratulations
that fate had brought together three good people, who would work unanimously
for the good of humanity.
August Strindberg - On the Seaboard (1913)
