We probably helped to keep the home fires of passion burning.

  • Likewise the piercing of the body for multiple rings in the ears, in the nose, even in the tongue. Can they possibly think that is beautiful? It is a passing fancy, but its effects can be permanent. Some have gone to such extremes that the ring had to be removed by surgery.

The real thing is the total functioning of the person, and that can be experienced only when you live together.

    Strong   Horse   Father  
    Bryan Waller Procter, “The Blood Horse”
