Son of an honorable citizen—most important of all, a good-looking <br />young man of the theatre, amiable in many ways. <br />I sometimes write highly audacious verses in Greek <br />and these I circulate—surreptitiously, of course. <br />O gods, may those puritans who prattle about morals <br />never see those verses about an exceptional kind of sexual pleasure, <br />the kind that leads toward a condemned, a barren love.<br /><br />Constantine P. Cavafy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/theatre-of-sidon-400-b-c/
