"For let Philosopher and Doctor preach
Of what they will and what they will not,-each
Is but one link in an eternal chain
That none can slip nor break nor over-reach."

----

"Crimson nor yellow roses nor
The savour of the mounting sea
Are worth the perfume I adore
That clings to thee.
The languid-headed lilies tire,
The changeless waters weary me;
I ache with passionate desire
Of thine and thee.
There are but these things in the world-
Thy mouth of fire,
Thy breasts, thy hands, thy hair upcurled
And my desire."

-"Eros d'aute" (1896), by Theodore Wratislaw
