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.

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
