Held Private

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or private:

“You danced with me never saying a word.
Instead the serpent spoke as you held me close.

like a great god and we bent together
like two lonely swans.”

“Mens sana in men’s sauna, in the flush
Of health and toilets, private and corporal glee,”
