Passion


Passions must lead you astray
as nothing can resist them;
you are hopelessly carried away
to where your will is without power
and you have no influence of your own destiny.
Follow blindly as a slave your heart,
and you will end up in a series of discoveries
of wonders and experiences unheard of,
which would never have been possible
if you had mastered your own love.
Of course, any experience is worth it,
and as long as your love doesn't kill you,
go on loving, following your passions
for as long as they keep going on.

This brought to mind Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "The Remains of the Day," which is a story of passion denied, and the cold victory of will and "sensibility."
