The fairy stories have it that loves first kiss redeems everything. The Beast becomes a man. The Frog becomes a handsome prince. Its a lie. The changelings who think of themselves as Beasts know it all too well. To kiss the Beast is to surrender yourself to sensuality and instinct. To love the Beast is to become like the Beast, lost to memory, self-control and ultimately consciousness. The animal is amoral. The animal is incapable of true thought.
