The hearts of men are thine. You knowit well, enchantress, with your soft languor that seems to suspectnothing! You know very well that you ruin, that you destroy, you knowthat he who touches you will suffer; you know that he dies who basks inyour smile, who breathes the perfume of your flowers and comes under themagic influence of your charms; that is why you abandon yourself sofreely, that is why your smile is so sweet, your flowers so fresh; thatis why you so gently place your arms on our sh...oulders. O, Heaven! what isyour will with us?" Professor Halle has said a terrible thing: "Woman is the nervous part ofhumanity, man the muscular. " Humboldt himself, that serious thinker, hassaid that an invisible atmosphere surrounds the human nerves. I do notquote the dreamers who watch the flight of Spallanzani's bat, and whothink they have found a sixth sense in nature. Such as nature is, hermysteries are terrible enough, her powers mighty enough, that naturewhich creates us, mocks at us, and kills us, without deepening theshadows that surround us.
