The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Camille by Alexandre Dumas: breath of life in me, I will be the slave of your fancies. At
whatever hour of the day or night you will, come, and I will be
yours; but do not link your future any more with mine, you would
be too unhappy and you would make me too unhappy. I shall still
be pretty for a while; make the most of it, but ask nothing
more."
When she had gone, I was frightened at the solitude in which she
left me. Two hours afterward I was still sitting on the side of
the bed, looking at the pillow which kept the imprint of her
form, and asking myself what was to become of me, between my love
and my jealousy.
