Your hands tremble as they caress and woo me...
My amber body, harmonious and young,
Is like a jasmin vine deliciously high-strung
Drunk with sunlight, with pleasure and perfume!

The Flowering Heath (1931)

I want to love, to love heedlessly!
To love for the sake of loving: Here...there...
This one, that other and everyone...
To love! To love! And love no one!
[...]
He who loves someone and says that love’s fire
Can last a lifetime is nothing but a liar!

The Flowering Heath (1931)
