“Your happiness depends on your own emotional control of the emotions of your mate. She should never know that you have lost control of your emotions. If you do, you are a mere puling infant. It is therefore your duty to make her lose control of her erotic emotions.
“Only in case you are able to exalt her to this altitude of supermundane excitement, have you any right to lose control of your own emotions. You can then let them go, give free rein to them; and you will probably both come to at the same time, she not knowing definitely exactly what has happened to her, but surprised, delighted, awed, overwhelmed at the beauty and wonder of it. She knew that being in love was pleasant. She did not know that the reward of being in love was a flight of illimitable velocity through the azure empyrean beyond the stars and back again.”
CONSUMMATION
Burning—relentless burning—
With the gently caressing fires that will not be calmed.
A delicious sense of stifling.
Suddenly a fierce storm of sharp, exquisite pains ...
Like little electric needle shocks ...
Pierces every tiny part of your body—
Till you are raised out of this earth.
