“I am athirst for thy beauty; I am hungry for thy body; and neither wine nor apples can appease my desire. What shall I do now, Iokanaan? Neither the floods nor the great waters can quench my passion. I was a princess, and thou didst scorn me. I was a virgin, and thou didst take my virginity from me. I was chaste, and thou didst fill my veins with fire . . .”
― Oscar Wilde, Salomé

我渴慕你的美貌,渴慕你的身体。酒和苹果都不能满足我的欲望。我现在该怎么办,约卡南?洪水和大水都不能熄灭我的激情。我是一个公主,你看不起我。我是处女,你夺去了我的童贞。我是贞洁的,你用火填满了我的血管。”
