The Downfall

By Theo Elias

“[...] it seemed to happen almost overnight; there may have been profound causes for it, but who was going to bother about that; at any rate the pampered hunger artist suddenly found himself deserted one fine day by the amusement seekers, who went streaming past him to other more favoured attractions. [...] everywhere, as if by secret agreement, a positive revulsion from professional fasting was in evidence.”
