From East of Suez: A Play in Seven Scenes by W. Somerset (William Somerset) Maugham

I know. (Suddenly understanding.) Daisy! (DAISY: Yes, I could do that. I only wish it had succeeded.) I can't believe it. (DAISY: You're mine, mine, mine, and I'll never let you go.) (With increasing violence.) Do you think I can ever look at you again without horror? In my heart I've known always that you were evil. Ten years ago when I first loved you there was a deep instinct within that warned me. Even though my heart was breaking for love of you I knew that you were ruthless and cruel. I've loved you, yes, but all the time I've hated you. I've loved you, but with the baser part of me. All that was in me that was honest and decent and upright revolted against you. Always, always. This love has been a loathsome cancer in my heart. I couldn't rid me of it without killing myself, but I abhorred it. I felt that I was degraded by the love that burned me.
