MCEiht - Straight up Menace
On Passion

To hide a passion totally
(or even to hide, more simply, its excess) is
inconceivable:
not because the human subject is too weak,
but because
passion is in essence made to be seen:
the hiding must be seen:
I want you to know that I am not hiding
anything  from you,
that is the active paradox I must resolve:
at one and the same time
it must be known and not known:
Know then that I don't show my feelings
in all things that might fail
to bring glory to the One - instead my
feelings are translated and exemplified as
my passion and
that is the message I address to the other.
