and of voluptuousness, between man and woman. It is a natural language,
as love's language in general is. It consists not of sounds but of
desires disguised and of ever-changing wishes. That an unhappy lover may

I for my part do not understand it; for to me a woman has sufficient

the same time it is certain that I am the only one who is not deceived
by this truth. As to whether a despoiled woman is worth less than man -
