Young Girl Masturbating (1913) by Gustav Klimt
you are the one
i am lit for.
…
i am the bush.
i am burning
i am not consumed.

Girl Seen in a Dream (1911) by Egon Schiele
She …
Then suck’d their fruit globes fair or red:
Sweeter than honey from the rock,
Stronger than man-rejoicing wine,
Clearer than water flow’d that juice;
She never tasted such before,
How should it cloy with length of use?
“Goblin Market”

The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife (1814) Katsushika Hokusai
Having sucked deep
In a sweet peony,
A bee creeps
Out of its hairy recesses.

She suck’d until her lips were sore

“Danae” Tribute to Gustave Klimt by Milo Manara
How my face, your flower, had pursed
Its petals up; so, here and there
You brush it, till I grow aware
Who wants me, and wide ope I burst.
“In A Gondola”
by Robert Browning
Love Letters from a Portuguese Nun by (1669) Milo Manara
When she rises in the morning
I linger to watch her;
She spreads the bath cloth underneath the window
And the sunbeams catch her
Glistening white on the shoulders
Gloire de Dijon
by D. H. Lawrence

Mermaids (1907) by Édouard-Henri Avril
A short revealing frock?
It’s just my luck
your lips were made to mock!-
Sappho, “fragment 155”
