Your love is too earthly for my love.

Why do you not love Wilfrid?
Wilfrid is a man, tested by passions; he would clasp you in his vigorous arms and make you feel a hand both broad and strong.

His hair is black, his eyes are full of human thoughts, his heart pours lava in every word he utters; he could kill you with caresses.

Let him be your beloved, your husband! Yes, thine be Wilfrid!" Minna wept aloud.
"Dare you say that you do not love him ?" he went on, in a voice which pierced her like a dagger.
"Have mercy, have mercy, my Seraphitus!" "Love him, poor child of Earth to which thy destiny has indissolubly bound thee," said the strange being, beckoning Minna by a gesture, and forcing her to the edge of the saeter, whence he pointed downward to a scene that might well inspire a young girl full of enthusiasm with the fancy that she stood above this earth.
"I longed for a companion to the kingdom of Light; I wished to show you that morsel of mud, I find you bound to it.Farewell.Remain on earth; enjoy through the senses; obey your nature; turn pale with pallid men; blush with women; sport with children; pray with the guilty; raise your eyes to heaven when sorrows overtake you; tremble, hope, throb in all your pulses; you will have a companion; you can laugh and weep, and give and receive.

I,--I am an exile, far from heaven; a monster, far from earth.
