Live As If You Were Eternal.

I Knew A Man Who Had Been Virtually Drowned And Then Revived. He Said That His Death Had Not Been Painful.

The Reputation Of A Don Juan Gives To A Man The Most Dangerous Power. Wise Virgins Resist It, But Foolish Virgins Frequently Yield To The Desire To Take A Celebrated Lover From A Rival - Even From A Friend. This Emotion Is A Complex One, Mad Up Of Vanity, Respect For Another Woman's Taste, And The Need To Establish Self-assurance By Winning A Difficult Victory. Don Juan Chose His First Mistresses; Later He Was Chosen.

It Is The Dying Refrain Of A Completed Song, The Final Verse Of A Finished Poem.
