Sensual to the point of fanaticism
Extreme in everything
With a perverse erotic imagination
The Like of which has never been seen
Imperious, choleric, irascible
Madame de Sade is my name
Take me as I am
For I shall not change!

Moonlight fantasia
Nocturne of silk
Azure eternity
Pleasure and guilt
Violence and beauty
Eclipse of the sun
Obsession

What a piece of work is a man
A witty mind once put it thus:
Why struggle to understand
What you can penetrate... with a thrust

I who have been happy since indulging in these crimes
Callous to others' pain became indifferent to my own
Shall suffer the torture gladly
With which human vengeance goads me
Shall climb the steps of the scaffold
As to a throne of glory
Moonlight fantasia
Nocturne of silk
Azure eternity
Pleasure and guilt
Violence and beauty
Eclipse of the sun
Obsession
