Angelas (aside. ) Sin, what is sin ? — so artificial seems The line 'twixt vice and virtue, changing so With clime and century ; shifting for state And subject, man and woman, you and me. Ay, once I sinned a sin that was a sin Though christened such, and knew ; and one with me Sinned without knowing, with a conscience clear, Died early in my arms as white a soul As ever preened its plumage for the skies. But I, I knew what Sin was by its wake, Its scorching track of fire ; as in the East You se...e the purples of the sun that sinks DIABOLUS AMANS. 75 In splendour, in the faces of the crowd The power and passion of the orator, And in the lover's eyes the loveliness Of his affianced maiden. Then I knew That I had dulled the edge of finer joys, And lost the livelier sense of life and love And beauty ; that thereafter, Eden lost, I should not feel so finely, think so well, Nor even love as I might else have loved : I knew, in other phrase, that sin is sin, And he who sinneth hath begun to die.
