So she thoroughly taught him that one cannot take pleasure without giving pleasure and that every gesture every caress every touch every glance every last bit of the body has its secret which brings happiness to the person who knows how to wake it. She taught him that after a celebration of love the lovers should not part without admiring each other without being conquered or having conquered so that neither is bleak or glutted or has the bad feeling of being used or misused.

Im in love with you he said quietly.Augustus I said.I am he said. He was staring at me and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. Im in love with you and Im not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. Im in love with you and I know that love is just a shout into the void and that oblivion is inevitable and that were all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust and I know the sun will swallow the only earth well ever have and I am in love with you.

We read the pagan sacred books with profit and delight. With myth and fable we are ever charmed and find a pleasure in the endless repetition of the beautiful poetic and absurd. We find in all these records of the past philosophies and dreams and efforts stained with tears of great and tender souls who tried to pierce the mystery of life and death to answer the eternal questions of the Whence and Whither and vainly sought to make with bits of shattered glass a mirror that would in very truth reflect the face and form of Natures perfect self.These myths were born of hopes and fears and tears and smiles and they were touched and colored by all there is of joy and grief between the rosy dawn of birth and deaths sad night. They clothed even the stars with passion and gave to gods the faults and frailties of the sons of men. In them the winds and waves were music and all the lakes and streams and springsthe mountains woods and perfumed dells were haunted by a thousand fairy forms. They thrilled the veins of Spring with tremulous desire made tawny Summers billowed breast the throne and home of love filled Autumns arms with sun-kissed grapes and gathered sheaves and pictured Winter as a weak old king who felt like Lear upon his withered face Cordelias tears. These myths though false are beautiful and have for many ages and in countless ways enriched the heart and kindled thought. But if the world were taught that all these things are true and all inspired of God and that eternal punishment will be the lot of him who dares deny or doubt the sweetest myth of all the Fable World would lose its beauty and become a scorned and hateful thing to every brave and thoughtful man.

I had a dream that I could please everyone. Well that will always be a dream because I find that near to impossible to do.

As I look back on my life I think of how few rules should be followed. As for men we must learn bravery and live for Pleasure and for Beauty. More important than those two things should stand only one thing for us... Honor. A mans honor should be more sacred to him than his life especially in our age a time when very few men know what honor is.

It is easier for one to take risks and to chase his dreams with a mindset that he has nothing to lose. In this lies the immense passion the great advantage of avoiding a materialistic pleasure-filled way of life.
