"I was dominated, soul, brain, and power, by you. [...] I only knew that I had seen perfection face to face, and that the world had become wonderful to my eyes—too wonderful,perhaps; for in such mad worships there is peril, the peril of losing them, no less than the peril of keeping them. . ."

"The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame. That is all."

I think I would prefer this in a more visual medium.
