midnight
Cursed be they who love unwisely and too well ! ... cursed be all the wiles of desire and the haunts of dear passion ! -- cursed he all fair faces whose fairness lures men to destruction ! ... cursed be the warmth of caresses , the beating of heart against heart , the kisses that color midnight with fire ! Cursed be Love from birth unto death ! -- may its sweetness be brief , and its bitterness endless ! -- its delight a snare , and its promise treachery !
