I like a look of Agony,
Because I know it's true -
Men do not sham Convulsion,
Nor simulate, a Throe -
The eyes glaze once - and that is Death -
Impossible to feign
The Beads opon the Forehead
By homely Anguish strung.
Emily Dickinson (1862)
These young people scoff at the importance of sex, take it like a cocktail, and flout their elders with it... The naughty words they care nothing about, and the attitude to love they find old-fashioned - D.H.Lawrence
