An excellent treatise, to be sure. I once tried to say the same thing, not in narrative, but in the form of a poem whose theme is the subversion of innocence at the hands of evil, through the agency of primal desire.

Thank you for sharing that poem. It's the ancient tragedy for which some of us pay for with dissidents' smiles.

It reminded me of an old b&w film "The Devil and Daniel Webster" (1941) based on the short New England story by Benet. It also reminded me of a latin poem by Crashaw Non est hic fugitivus Amor (or, This Cupid is not a Runaway) Do you read Latin?
