“You are afraid to die?' Yes, everyone is.' But to die as lovers may - to die together, so that they may live together. Girls are caterpillars when they live in the world, to be finally butterflies when the summer comes; but in the meantime there are grubs and larvae, don't you see - each with their peculiar propensities, necessities and structures.” WorldMayTogetherDiesGirlLoversSummerStructurePeculiarButterflyPropensityCaterpillars Author:Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
“Dearest, your little heart is wounded; think me not cruel because I obey the irresistible law of my strength and weakness; if your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours. In the rapture of my enormous humiliation I live in your warm life, and you shall die--die, sweetly die--into mine. I cannot help it; as I draw near to you, you, in your turn, will draw near to others, and learn the rapture of that cruelty, which yet is love; so, for a while, seek to know no more of me and mine, but trust me with all your loving spirit.” IfsThinkingKnowsHeartLittlesHelpingLawSpiritDiesTurnsMinesDrawsWeaknessDearWarmEnormousCrueltyWoundedHumiliationTrust MeIrresistibleRaptureStrength And WeaknessDear Heart Author:Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
