See also: "Quia Multum Amavi" by Oscar Wilde which predates EP's QPA by
many years and could be the inspiration for the title...
Fun Fact: Please note the "House of Pain" reference in the Wilde poem.

Subject: Re: QUIA PAUPER AMAVI
I don't know the context of your passage, but the words mean "because I
loved the meager", meager being a substantive adjective. Does this
make sense to you? Where does the quotation appear?
Peace,
Jon
