May I borrow your Ode to read to Aphrodite? You have captured the feelings of several of her lovers. We can all read it to her.
Keats also could have been writing of the Lady of the Ode, except for the "sans Merci" part.
A few verses from
La Belle Dame sans Merci
John Keats (1795–1821).
I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful—a faery’s child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.
I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She look’d at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan.
I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long,
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
A faery’s song.
QUIZ for today:
1. What actually is "my pacing steed" which the writer sets her upon...and all day long!
2. Explain the actual meaning of her "fragrant zone"
3. No need to explain "sweet moan."
Here is a painting of the La Belle Dame(and kk027, or is it nhted, or ???).
Another possibility...
You know as well as I that would elicit a rather large yawn VERY quickly and probably followed by a low growl and a grin and then................. well, I'm not going to say it here!!
