QuoteQuest“<p>Upon my flowery breast <br /> Kept wholly for Himself alone <br /> There He stayed sleeping <br /> And I caressed Him <br /> And the fanning of the cedars made a breeze.</p><p>The breeze blew from the turret as I parted His locks. <br /> With His gentle hand He wounded my neck <br /> And caused all my senses to be suspended.</p>”
