Breathless. ☆☆☆

" 'I want to sleep with you because you're beautiful.'

'But I'm not.'

'Then because you're ugly.' "

--Breathless

The devil is in the details 👀.

"The Moth

Isled in the midnight air,
Musked with the dark's faint bloom,
Out into glooming and secret haunts
The flame cries, 'Come!'

Lovely in dye and fan,
A-tremble in shimmering grace,
A moth from her winter swoon
Uplifts her face:

Stares from her glamorous eyes;
Wafts her on plumes like mist;
In ecstasy swirls and sways
To her strange tryst."

--Walter de la Mare
