I hate and I love. Perhaps you ask why I do so. I do not know, but I feel it, and am in agony.
My mind's sunk so low, Claudia, because of you, wrecked itself on your account so bad already, that I couldn't like you if you were the best of women,--or stop loving you, no matter what you do.
Oh, this age! How tasteless and ill-bred it is!
