Quotes
The green-eyed angel came in less than a half hour and fell docile as a lamb into my arms. We kissed and caressed, I met no resistance when I unlaced the strings to free her dress and fill myself in the moist and hot bed nature made between her thighs. We made love outdoors—without a roof, I like most, without stove, my favorite place, assuming the weather be fair and balmy, and the earth beneath be clean. Our souls intertwined and dripping with passion, we fell asleep amongst the golden grasses, strewn by our earlier lovemaking.

I fear they are the stuff of all our nightmares. The good and decent citizen in me should be horrified by the very thought of a professional association for the giving of offense. But deep in my heart I know that a creative life cannot be sustained by approval any more than it can be destroyed by criticism. I am not at liberty to trade my creative aspirations for the protection of any demographic. And I never will be. And I would rather be strewn by the roadside of life than to bow down before the might of an offended mob.
I have strewn my bed with roses, With roses learned and fair, So that my lady's white hands May rest with fragrance there.
