I'm reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series and the first book (Twilight) had a quote from the bible (Genes 2:17) and it took me a little while but I finally figure out the connection between the quote, cover of the book, and the writing I thought it was really cool and this is the quote from the second book (New Moon) and i was just wondering can someone write this in layman's terms:
"These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume."
Romeo and Juliet, Act II, scene VI
Oh and for anyone who reads the series or whatever please no rude comments I am only 13 forgive me for not fully comprehending a play from the 17th century.

Ummm........this may be a little racy for 13, but..........
The quote is referring to the the kind of stuff that Cosmo puts on the cover. The Adult Cosmo, not Cosmo 17.
You are not old enough to judge the meaning behind this quote.
As if you did not already guess, it is about Sex. Remain ignorant. It is not yet time for you to be aware of these things. I am not trying to Censor, just trying to Help.
Do yourself a Favour and trust me.

He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.
Rash actions have rash results which like fire put to gunpowder destroy (consume)one another as they touch (kiss).
