I want to suffer no more the vexing dream,

And will put down my care.

For if you love someone with twofold being,

You only fool him here.

 

Let’s fool that blesséd fellow you’ve contracted

In deep and heavy slumbers;

Rather I feel it’s pleasant to have acted

In your chimeras.

 

You’re his he thinks. I wake you with a kiss.

And you he seeks in vain,

Where by some dark enchantment marvelous

Your presence will obtain.

 

Jean Cocteau
