| We do not ever intend to do it, my brother and I. But after three thousand years, we know the signs-the melting glances, the sighs, the abstraction. And the disappointment when the realization comes that we will not rise to the bait. ’Tis true, we have dallied with mortals from time to time, but only with those sufficiently strong of will not to succumb to our allure She does not intend to do it either.
