She Haunts Me Still

Act IV Pyre

Act IV

Pyre

These violent delights have violent ends,

And in their triumph die; like fire and powder,

Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey

Is loathsome in his own deliciousness

And in the taste confounds the appetite.

Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so.

Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

—William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
