“My fingers on her breasts, our mouths joined; I graze with deep fury on her silver neck; yet though I labor over Aphrogeneia this virgin lets me go so far—and denies me her bed. Her upper body she allows to Aphrodite, but her under parts she commits to chaste Athena. I waste away between.” — Paulus Silentiarius
My fingers on her breasts, our mouths joined;
I graze with deep fury on her silver neck;
yet though I labor over Aphrogeneia
this virgin lets me go so far—and denies
me her bed. Her upper body she allows
to Aphrodite, but her under parts she commits
to chaste Athena. I waste away between.
