‘She is a goddess,' said Ambrose, drunkenly and stoutly. ‘...And she wants me. She's the pursuer...She's the epitome of woman, not,' he said, ‘not a second-hand bundle of coy erogeneity draped,' he said, ‘in an all-too-diaphanous robe,' he said, ‘of pudeur.'
Anthony Burgess
You can't start a fire, sitting 'round crying over a broken heart. This gun's for hire, Even if we're just dancing in the dark. You can't start a fire, worrying about your little world falling apart. This gun's for hire, Even if we're just dancing in the dark.

A slumber did my spirit seal; I had no human fears; She seemed a thing that could not feel; The touch of earthly years. No motion has she now, no force; She neither hears nor sees; Rolled round in earth's diurnal course. . .
William Wordsworth
