How many words can a picture capture?

By Wegesha

How great it is to finally put a face to a fairytale-like character. No wonder why he was so quick-witted. It probably turned out to be his best defense against a barrage of belittlement (No pun intended. Yeah, right!). Anyway, this picture is from a book I recently acquired:

1 - wegesha, today on slate.com there was an article which reported that a Harvard University Professor told students that the sexual revolution may not have served the best interests of young women. Instead, it had merely "lowered" them to the crass level of men, who pursue sex thoughtlessly and without hopes of marriage. He suggested that men who grow used to "free samples" in the bedroom are going to leave women high-and-dry when it comes to committed relationships. "[Today's] women play the men's game, which they are bound to lose. Without modesty, there is no romance—it isn't so attractive or so erotic," He said. The solution to the problem, he claimed is for women to start saying no a little more often....another man quoted in the article also said "Young women strike me as sad, lonely, and confused," he goes on saying that contemporary sexuality isn't morally but erotically bankrupt, and the best sex is stimulated by reading poets like P.B. Shelley....so my friend would love to hear what you make of this ....

I have pasted a poem by Shelley here: it is called "Love's Philiosophy"

THE fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle—
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdain'd its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea—
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?
