Well, it was on the back cover of a poster-book. Was it Momus who wrote the preface? Not sure. But there was the mention of a legend or, rather, a parable. 2 monks are talking about Satan, and one says that how terrible it might be for the devil not to have anything to wish for\desire left. He's got anything he could ever wish for, and must be bored as hell (no pun intended :-)) ). And the other one says - Yes, he's got one certain thing beyond his almighty reach, the thing he might want most of all, but will never get, so he must be looking at this thing with unrequited longing. It's snow-white purity of an angel. Lovely story.
