Sort of like a dream? No. Better.

What was it I slept with last night? Was it man or beast?

My suspicions, however, now that I'm starting to understand myself, is that this thing is all beast: uninhibited, uncivilised. It seems this animal wants to be tamed, however, for he returns often and with greater ardour to that which nourishes him. No matter the concern of the master, this beast takes every touch to be sincere; he thinks all blood flows from the heart.
