He has nothing that goes on, no passion, only a few intense moods, separate like odd stars, and when each has burned away, he must die.

Sex, Stars, Passion

It was not the passion that was new to her, it was the yearning adoration. She knew she had always feared it, for it left her helpless; she feared it still, lest if se adored him too much, then she would lose herself, become effaced, and she did not want to be effaced, a slave, like a savage woman. She must not become a slave. She feared her adoration, yet she would not at once fight against it.
