No, never. You are the light and the blessing of my life. I never lived until I knew you. LOUIS (his eyes glistening) Then you must always wear beautiful dresses and splendid magic jewels. Think of all the wonderful pictures I shall never paint. (She wins a terrible victory over a sob) Well, you must be transfigured with all the beauty of those pictures. Men must get such dreams from seeing you as they never could get from any daubing with paints and brushes. Painters must paint you as they never painted any mortal woman before. There must be a great tradition of beauty, a great atmosphere of wonder and romance. That is what men must always think of when they think of me. That is the sort of immortality I want. You can make that for me, Jennifer. There are lots of things you dont understand that every woman in the street understands; but you can understand that and do it as nobody else can. Promise me that immortality. Promise me you will not make a little hell of crape and crying and undertaker's horrors and withering flowers and all that vulgar rubbish.
