When first I tasted the Fruit of the trees, felt the seeds of Life and Knowledge burn within me, I swore that day I would not turn back  When first I tasted the flesh of the kill, felt the tang of the blood and the crunch of the bones, I swore that day I would not die.  When first I tasted my own blood, felt the surge and the stir of my own life on my lips, I swore that day to love myself above all.  When first I tasted the light of the moon, felt it's glow in my womb and it's wild tenderness, I swore that day to walk in night.  When first I tasted the love of a god, felt the tearing rise of song and fire, I swore that day to cherish the flesh.  When first I tasted the salt of the sea, felt my blood become water as the sky fell behind me, I swore that day to descend and return with wonders.  When first I tasted the love of a child, screamed with the joy of new life and wept for what I had lost and gained, I swore that day to nurture life as I embraced death before.

Corso:	Why the Devil?
Baroness Kessler:	I saw him one day. I was fifteen years old and I saw him, plain as I see you now: It was love at first sight.

I swear by three times three times three that these seven moments shall remain my own and whatever may transpire no man, nor god, nor beast may take them from me. I swear by myself and my immortality.
