To de Marsay, these dramatic events​.​.​.

about

From the writings of Honoré de Balzac

lyrics

“To de Marsay, these dramatic events were as a dream, but one of those dreams which, as it fades, leaves a feeling of such supernatural pleasure that a man will chase after it for the rest of his life. A single kiss had sufficed. Never had an assignation been conducted with more decency, more purity, more coldness perhaps, in a place littered with such horrible objects and facing an even more hideous idol; for her mother was imprinted on Henri’s imagination as some hellish, squatting, cadaverous, immoral, ferocious, and savage beast, a creature which the imagination of painters and poets had yet to conjure up. Indeed, no previous assignation had so inflamed his senses, or hinted at bolder pleasures, or caused so much love to flow from his heart until it seemed to surround him like a cloud. It was darkly mysterious, sweet and tender, both stifling and invigorating, a marriage of the horrific and the heavenly, paradise and hell, and intoxicating to de Marsay. He was no longer himself, but he was still man enough not to allow himself to be swept uncontrollably along by pleasure.”
