Rodin and Gwen: Metamorphosis. Yes ,when she came to him, she was blind spirit, a luminous girl. Yes!, he did suck her eyes out of her head, and swish them round in his mouth, tasting them, flavoursome, before pouring them back into her eyes sockets- so yes ,of course she wept, that was the beginning of her tears... So, yes, he did pull her tongue down his hoary throat, where it flexed bravely, in the gouty, slimy dark place of endless gurgling and volcanic heave ho's. Yes, she did keep cats, so what?

But see here, that other one The oracle, the One kept in the cave, O, the frightful visage of the old Sibyl kept without a man to trot out God knows what mad talk!
