“Aphrodite then promised Zeus that as soon as the girdle could be removed, she would reserve her flower for him. And she told him that her flower, as Nerites had advised her, was like a lovely oyster & she hoped that he liked oysters. And she told him that that was all that she had to give him in return for his seed. And she hoped that he would swallow her flower just as she swallowed his seed.”
“It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”
“Be like the flower that gives its fragrance to even the hand that crushes it.”
“A life without orgasms is like a world without flowers.”
“Flowers represent hope for us; but we do not represent hope for them! Let us keep the flowers in the soil; no plucking!”
