“Hurry not a woman's favor; neither forcer her hastily to surrender to thee. For she goeth into love as she goeth into the waters at the seashore; first a hand and then a lip goeth she in by littles. She diveth not, she leapeth not from the pier; but by gentle shocks and cries of protest she entereth slowly; yet when the waters of love encompass her, then she is supported. She swimmeth in her joy; she floateth on the tide of happiness.” LoveFirstsLittlesHandsJoyWomenWaterCryDatingLipsFavorsSurrenderTheeGentleShockProtestTidesSeashorePiersGoeth Author:Gelett Burgess

She will deliver thee from the hands of strange women, she will expose their craft; and of her who flattereth thee, will she make known the reason.” ReasonHandsWomenSecretKnownStrangeCraftsTheeOne Woman Author:Gelett Burgess
