“The bitter sterility of your pleasure
Alters your thirst and stiffens your skin,
And the furious wind of concupiscence
Rattles your flesh like an old flag.”
“The harsh sterility of your delight
scalds your throat and desiccates your skin –
and your eyeless cyclone of concupiscence
rattles your flesh like an abandoned flag.”
(Baudelaire – Femmes damnées – F du M)
