pain is to fulfill,
to gorge thyself in inverse pleasure,
as vast as pleasure itself
as diverse as pleasure itself;
blood drained from body
skin stripped from muscle
muscle shucked from its bone
rending soft tissue housed within
eviscerated the chassis of the flesh
dismantle the fortification of the mind
and extract the pearl of the soul
and Lo, in finality His work is done
and we will be fed of it for ever
cxiv.
