Is that all?

Is that all?    

(Mary Winslow)

I was at the very zenith of earthly happiness. 

On returning from the ball, I took a hasty review 
of the evening I had passed, as I lay sleepless 
upon my pillow . . .
  the glitter;
  the music;
  the dance;
  the excitement;
  the attention;
  the pleasure;
all passed before me. 

But, oh! I felt a deficiency I could not describe. 

I sighed, and, throwing my arm over my head, 
whispered to myself these expressive words,
"Is that all?"

"Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again."
     John 4:13
