Songs Of Bilitis Quotes

Songs Of Bilitis quote from classy quote

I left the bed as she had left it, unmade and rumpled, coverlets awry, so that her body's print might rest still warm beside my own.Until the next day I did not go to bathe, I wore no clothes and did not dress my hair, for fear I might erase some sweet caress.That morning I did not eat, nor yet at dusk, and put no rouge nor powder on my lips, so that her kiss might cling a little longer.I left the shutters closed, and did not open the door, for fear the memory of the night before might vanish with the wind.

~ Pierre Louÿs

When he came back, I hid my face within my hands. He said: Fear nothing. Who has seen our kiss? --Who saw us? The night and the moon.And the stars and the first flush of dawn. The moon has seen its visage in the lake, and told it to the water 'neath the willows. The water told it to the rower's oar.And the oar has told it to the boat, and the boat has passed the secret to the fisher. Alas! alas! if that were only all! But the fisher told the secret to a woman.The fisher told the secret to a woman: my father and my mother and my sisters, and all of Hellas now shall know the tale.
