The Ones Who Loved Her

Things do not change; we change. - Thoreau

'Morphine Addicts' by Paul-Albert Besnard (1887)

It's no wonder she was alone.

Her addiction was so powerful that she even spent ...

... the ones who loved her ...

The accompanying illustration is highly appropriate. The combination of beauty and hopelessness says it all about what addiction can do. The words attest to the power of drugs. People will give up all that matters in life to get them. Somber but true.
