here a couple of wonderful sentences
that mister Julian Barnes wrote on his
short stories book The Lemon Table
he is talking:
19th Century people versus us!
the 21th Century generation
and
our perception of love and sex
and he says about...
"If we know more about consummation;
they knew more about desire.
If we know more about numbers;
they knew more about despair.
If we know more about boasting;
they knew more about memory.
They had foot-kissing;
we have toe-sucking.
You still prefer our side of the equation?
You may well be right.
Then try a simpler formulation;
if we know more about sex;
they knew more about love."
and i wonder?
in which side are you of the equation?
you can share here, or just think about it yourself
...& smile while you are at it
