    Summary

    "In the rapture of my enormous humiliation I live in your warm life, and you shall die—die, sweetly die—into mine. I cannot help it; as I draw near to you, you, in your turn, will draw near to others, and learn the rapture of that cruelty, which yet is love; so, for a while, seek to know no more of me or mine, but trust me with all your loving spirit."

    Summary

    At her urging, I continued shakily, "Thy flower-sweet fingers, good to bruise or bite… as—as honeycomb of the inmost honey-cells…" Carmilla half-sat up to rest her chin on my shoulder; I could feel her feminine figure draped heavily against my back. I felt surrounded by her, engulfed in her. Her fingertips tickled down the nape of my neck, rising a shiver in my blood, and the printed page swam beneath my gaze as she stroked the skin below my collarbone—and lower, and lower.

    Laura discloses to a sympathetic listener the intimate details of her relationship with Carmilla.

    Summary

    I sought to use her adoration for me, as she used mine for her, to gain that knowledge I so desperately sought.

    Summary

    “I have often placed my hands under it, and laughed with wonder at its weight. It was exquisitely fine and soft, and in color a rich very dark brown, with something of gold. I loved to let it down, tumbling with its own weight, as, in her room, she lay back in her chair talking in her sweet low voice, I used to fold and braid it and spread it out and play with it. Heavens! If I had but known all!” — Carmilla, Section IV

    And perhaps, as there was blood, and hunger, there was love.
