He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

with half-glances.
Look at him naturally,
so you can see him well.
That way,
you’ll be taken for a virgin.”
