I wanted to steal.

I wanted to live all lives, to dwell in all hearts.
Ah! I saw now how I should be punished for having entered into the living secrets of man.

My punishment would fit my crime.

I was destined to undergo the infinite misery I read in the others.

I was to be punished by every mystery that kept its secret, by every woman who went by.
Infinity is not what we think.
