the passionate odor , the fragrance so sublime it cloaked the dying : for they came , each looked , and the look was piercing : looked at them and pierced their hearts : pierced as if stabbed indeed , they fell onto their lily : were consumed by her beauty , her pleasure , the kiss of her lips stabbed , piked , speared , impaled , the upward shiv : every action of every stripe , each his own , falling as if upon his own sword : dying in the rapture of erotic ecstasy !
