„A distinct throat. Which breathes. A head: small, smaller than a flower. With eyes and with lips. Lips more slender than light; a smile how carefully and slowly made, a smile made entirely of dream.

The All which is beyond comprehension — the All which is perpetually discovered, yet undiscovered: sexual, sweet, Alive!“
— E.E. Cummings
