I laid my head among the black lilies. And the poisonous lilies, flowers of shadow and darkness, opening their funereal blossoms at my brow, taught me unspeakable and virgin dishonor. And sunk, living into the horror of my being, I have savored the strange and delicate happiness of being able to hate myself, because I have been able to know myself.
