Know that it is a corpse who loves you and adores you and will never, never leave you!. .. Look, I am not laughing now, crying, crying for you, Christine, who have torn off my mask and who therefore can never leave me again!. .. Oh, mad Christine, who wanted to see me! Gaston Leroux
About This Quote

The relationship between a man and a woman is a sacred one, carried out in the most private of places. He is her lover, her comfort, her servant and her keeper. To love as she does, to have as he does, to be as they are is to invite death upon yourself. In his poem “The Dead Man’s Love”, Jean Cocteau describes the long associations that lovers make with their dead lovers by worshiping their bodies and through the use of effigies. To know that it is a corpse who loves you and adores you and will never, never leave you!...Look, I am not laughing now, crying for you Christine who have torn off my mask and who therefore can never leave me again!...Oh mad Christine, who wanted to see me!
