“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
