“I have known many gods. He who denies them is as blind as he who trusts them too deeply. I see not beyond death. Let me live while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content.

I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content.” IfsKnowsRealLife IsWhiteKnownRichArmsBattleIllusionRedLet MeHotBlueBlindMadWineEmbraceDenyFlamesMeatBladesJuicePalateCrimsonRed Meat Author:Robert E.
