The Green Hat by Michael Arlen (1924)

More secretly kept than crimes, another man will snatch from intimacy with a women whom he would detest if he did not desire

A beautiful woman neglected or unloved appeals, of course, more to the chivalrous sens in men, for men will stand more of a chance for a sad woman being interested in them; but the very skin of a woman who is coiled in love seems to have a jewel-like quality and her mind is like a temptation one wants to touch.

She would invade my thought, perhaps my life, in exchange for a pung of pleasure that needs love to exalt it.
