• Why will we struggle to attain, and strive,
  When all we gain is but an empty dream?--
  Better, unto my thinking, doth it seem
  To end it all and let who will survive;
  To find at last all beauty is but dust;
  That love and sorrow are the very same;
  That joy is only suffering's sweeter name;
  And sense is but the synonym of lust.
  Far better, yea, to me it seems to die;
  To set glad lips against the lips of Death--
  The only thing God gives that comforteth,
  The only thing we do not find a lie.

• When Death hath poured oblivion through my veins,
  And brought me home, as all are brought, to lie
  In that vast house, common to serfs and Thanes,
  I shall not die, I shall not utterly die,
  For beauty born of beauty-- that remains.

• It is my PRIDE, my damned, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19 - 20th of my Composition is Pride.

• What is passion? It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.

For a man to know that he shall die, that is common to all men; as much as there is no man that may ever live or he hath hope or trust thereof; but thou shalt find full few that hath this cunning to learn to die. I shall give thee the mystery of this doctrine; the which shall profit thee greatly to the beginning of ghostly health, and to a stable fundamental of all virtues.
