You know what i am going to say. i love you. what other men may mean when they use that expression, i cannot tell. what i mean is that i am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which i have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. you could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything i have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. this and the confusion of my thoughts, so that i am fit for nothing, is what i mean by your being the ruin of me.
