. . . How does it end ? . . . It leaves no trace and we fail to understand where it is gone . . . the wilder it burns the sooner does it become extinct . . . but that does not hinder it from sacrificing all to its burning desires as though its heat were of everlasting duration. Woe betide us if this great fire breaks out a second time. We need the belief in its immor- tality, and we know by saddest experience that eventually it feeds upon itself . . . thence the difference in the kind of melanc...holy, pro- duced by a first and a second love ... In the first case we think our passion can only cease with tragic death, and really if the threat- ening difficulties cannot otherwise be overcome we easily resolve to step into the tomb with our beloved. . . . But in the case of our second love we remember that our wildest and happiest feelings change gradually into a tame luke- warmness and that the day will come when we shall gaze indifferently on those lips, eyes, and ii8 TRAGEDIES limbs, which now fill us with a strange delight .
