"I felt as if this kiss were a seal affixed to my fetters"
and then:
"Oh, I wish I could make you see how much my mind is at this moment like a rayless dungeon, with one shrinking fear fettered in its depths - the fear of being persuaded by you to attempt what I cannot accomplish!"
and then:
"My iron shroud contracted round me; persuasion advanced with slow sure step"
Love and devotion = impossible under coercion.
