    FEMALE INTELLECT
      
      

    Even now you won't leave me alone! Even now, you lure me to you with ever more deceitful ways, with wiles and charms. It would be well to see through the secrets of your lying heart, like a sieve with two holes, in the ancient way of the soul's scribes, so that you may once and for all throw off the lying, inciting calculation, and leave only the power of outcast love. Now you should wonder, if you have no one to stay in this world with your old head, who will save you from yourself? 

    Thou canst not know whether the hungry worms of the barren frozen earth Will eat thee early, that they may take great delight in thee, As they seek new delicacies. From the shattered fragments of thy private life, seldom, if ever, can be left, the happiness of family! - With thy light, lecherous, icy smile, thou canst have any whom thou dost charm; thy infatuation, if it existed, is growing feeble and vain, however confident and resolute thou mayst be out there. 

    As a weakened prey to caressing glances, you will helplessly cling to embracing arms that no longer want to protect - but to strangle. Your feigned, charming generosity will be spotted early by those with an eye. Around the edge of circles, like a lost witness, you circle slowly, like a bloodhound, thus slowing to seek your prey to snatch. No longer can you have the right to decide for yourself, once you have given up the remnants of your human emotions: you will ask the inevitable question in the half-barley of your life: Was it worth deceiving so many broken, loyal hearts?! 

    Was it worth waiting for white knights to bow gallantly, to pull out your chair before you, to pay for your life? - You could not see your children grow up. Thy greed has made thy boundaries stretched. Thy insidious absence will ever gain its ultimate meaning!
