But could youth last, and love still breed, Had joys no date, nor age no need, Then these delights my mind might move To live with thee and be thy Love.
And isn't that the great attraction of e-love? For all the women at Beltane are forever nubile, forever young, forever beautiful (even if they just got out of bed and haven't had a shower in three days, they are still beautiful to me), forever lusty (and if they choose not to be lusty for a bit, they merely go off-line), and forever virginal, returning to virginity after each tryst. They never nag us to clean the bathroom, or mow the lawn, or get OFF the computer NOW and come to bed.
So E, and Edwarda, and CobaltBlue, and jbe, and nihil, and all ye others ready to gather rosebuds perpetually, let us away to the beech wood (for a single beech tree will hardly suffice us) and live the life that the poets could only sing of! |
