the lover who has given his heart
There is no repose for the lover who has given his heart: his avid desire increases hour by hour; his moments of satisfaction are over in an instant, and every moment he advances to even greater aspirations. Once he has smelled the perfume of the rose, he wants to see it; and having seen it, at once he wants to pluck it.
