Did you ever think or assume something was a Great Work or Best Work? Something  considered the Great Work or Work Best of course may depend on one’s  judgment or perception. The author considered one of the best works among some of the works or greatest of all time is the Bible or Scripture.

Result from prolonged sadness and despair that include his life, he felt sick to death of him.
