" "Esto era lo que había en él de singular:
que en medio de toda su vida disoluta
y de su mucha experiencia en el amor,
a pesar de la habitual armonía
entre su actitud y su edad,
había algunos instantes -pero muy raros
ciertamente- en que daba la impresión
de una carne casi intacta.
La hermosura de sus veintinueve años,
tan probada en el placer,
había momentos en que paradojalmente recordaba
a un adolescente que -con cierta torpeza- al amor
por primera vez su cuerpo puro entrega.

Speak not of guilt, speak not of responsibility. When the Regiment of the Senses parades by, with music, and with banners; when the senses shiver and shudder, it is only a fool and and an irreverent person that will keep his distance, who will not embrace the good cause, marching towards the conquest of pleasures and passions. All of morality’s laws – poorly understood and applied – are nil and cannot stand even for a moment, when the Regiment of the Senses parades by, with music, and with banners.
