Thus With A Kiss I Die

“A kiss may ruin a human life”

“I must die. Must I then die lamenting? I must be put in chains. Must I then also lament? I must go into exile. Does any man then hinder me from going with smiles and cheerfulness and contentment?”

“Death, a necessary end, will come when it will come”

“but love is not fashionable anymore, the poets have killed it. They wrote so much about it that nobody believed them, and I am not surprised. True love suffers, and is silent. I remember myself once-but no matter now. Romance is a thing of the past.”

“this too shall pass”

“Suffer love! A good ephitet! I do suffer love indeed, for I love thee against my will.”
