No more a raging fire like the heat of the sun
(no liking but all lust) -

and bone,
the rippling of bright muscles like
a sea,

Or Samson, strong as the pillars of the
seas:
But the flames of the heart
Consumed me, and
the mind
Is but a foolish wind.

males; the praying mantis and the spider, gorged on love, crushing
their partners and gobbling them up; the dog in heat running through

herself off brazenly, sneaking away with flirtatious hypocrisy. And
the most splendid wildcats, the tigress, lioness, and panther, lie
down slavishly under the male's imperial embrace, inert, impatient,
shrewd, stupid, insensitive, lewd, fierce, and humiliated

In the shelter of such alliances I have got out of bed in the morning with moderate assurance that I shall still be alive at bedtime. But south of the moon my allies vanish, and I have an emptiness in my stomach. I fear the cobras in the garden. I lack a treaty with the lioness.

But most of all, I am afraid of the African street.— Robert Ardrey
