Parece que dos seus lábios borbulham lavas embebidas em mel; que o ligeiro buço que lhe cobre a pele acetinada se eriça, como espinhos de rosa através das pétalas macias; que o seu dente de pérola te dilacera as carnes deixando bálsamo nas feridas. Parece enfim que essa mulher te sufoca nos seus braços, te devora e absorve para cuspir-te imediatamente e com asco nos beijos que atira-te à face!”
