On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
Burning and sweating venomously,
Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
Clamorous with foul ecstasy.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Temptation is an irresistible force at work on a movable body.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

We have taken from the defeated
What they had to leave us—a symbol:
A symbol perfected in death.”
