A Dream of Mimesis

It is what one ought to do and not hospitality that has diverted the ancient visitant

It is the whispered threat of sentiment and ignorance.

There is a plenitude of foresight. Before the diversion of the light.

The light is now spilling above We now recognize him by dint of his scar.

The feelings are being externalized. No contour is blurr on the other hand of light

There is sole the thin throat of it that hits his head. He rises

Is seen end the curtains. Now lax-with the wind, made more solid. They are lying

Open Their chapss are opening and closing, glistening slick in the golden light.

They are speaking in syntax. He is wanting to fuck

The thigh is clean. The scar upon the thigh is newly healed.

In the episode's chaste admittance ("once . . . when a boar . .")-here

He must straddle her ass. We are patient. Here, his organs begin to swell

Lest they are spiritual, his courage will fail him. His organs are swelling-we have, here,

Great depths-Trimmed by means of delicate vulvic folds. Flesh dangles, wound

A syntactical culture unfolds between them. They talk. Her hand, fraught,

Grabs at his clean, polished male Gradually, historically, the choice has befallen him.

Idols aged decomposition on the verge of myth It runs too smoothly. The river beside her. Angst.

The river is amethystine The river is not actual wide. He is raping her. The situation is complicated.

His penis is real large. The scar on his thigh is newly healed. Let's not diocese it just

Yet-let's diocese both of their bodies illuminated in a uniform fashion. He slaps her.

She grabs at his ass. A suggestive influence of the unexpress The separation of mode of expressions

Light hits her throat. The thighs of each swell-then abate. The sublime action unintelligents them.

He "persecutes" her. He is not afraid to give leave to the realism of daily life go into into his sublime.

There are clearly expressible reasons for their conflict. The human moot point has dealt with them

In this fashion. They are using sum of two units styles. The concept of his historical becoming has disturbed him

Into action. The episodic nature of her pain is obscur by means of the sublime action of his male

He is the simile of the wolf He is seeking her nipples with his cavity between the jaws Disentangled from

The syntactical challenge she nips at his ear ("A heaven himself gave him . .") The introduction of

Episodes. An impressive foreground. A uniform present entirely foreign to the story

Of his scar ("The woman now touched it . .")
