It was exactly the moment in which I awoke and saw you, then, concealed by a dream: none could behold you; nobody saw you but I. I felt the wicked shame which came as sleep's veil fell, slipped yonder, was gone; and your face only confronted mine, seizing the heart from mind's eye, reminding the conscience, forcing the inadmissible. It was exactly that moment-- the moment in which I saw the veil removed, and was helpless to stop or reverse that unveiling-- that I became awash with a long-suffering guilt, because I knew then that I loved you.
