Months ago I noted down (literally on the back of the proverbial envelope) these sentences from Thomas Merton: 'It is vanity to desire anything that is past. The misery afterwards was, of course, a luxury.' Atypically, I've failed to list the source work; as I now have to prepare footnotes for a publication in which I use this quote I'm in need of your collective memory. Google has failed me.
