Could you not drink her gaze like wine?
Yet in its splendor swoon
Into the silence languidly,
As a tune into a tune?

- Dante Rosetti -

As quoted by Marie Corelli in Thelma - A Norwegian Princess

I wish I could find the line from Robert Browning about drinking some woman's bathwater like wine.

yours, Peter T.

Sheesh, Peter! Whether it was Browning, or Howard Stern, there are some places I don't want to visit!

Sorry, Peter, I don't know it, but if we found it, would this, then, be you? (**BG**)

Miss Twye was soaping her breasts in the bath
When she heard behind her a meaning laugh
And to her amazement she dicovered
A wicked man in the bathroom cupboard.

Reminds me of an old song...Wash me in the water that you washed your dirty daughter in, and I shall be whiter than the whitewash on the wall.

Kat,
Your original thought was lovely. Let's risk throwing out the baby with the bathwater and get back to it- GENTLEMEN!
Years ago, I was the only woman on a all male national sales team and had a reputation for practicality and businesslike demeanor. Then they hired some guy from down south with the sweetest drawl and twinkling eyes... I was done for! I wasn't attracted to him but every time he even looked my way, I blushed. Nothing coy and quiet - bright red, head to toe. There was no hiding it. Actually, I drank his gaze in like straight scotch and swooned drunkenly into quietude quite regularly. Thank god he was happily married or I'd have spent the rest of my life in a school girl stupor. Still I wish I could explain what it was...
Does Dante offer any advice?
For the record I haven't blushed since. Really too bad.
