but still stitching/sewing related......
"I hate a woman who offers herself because she ought to do so, and, cold and dry, thinks of her sewing when she's making love. " ~Ovid
Yes, THAT Ovid - the writer of at least three volumes of love poetry, self professed expert in love and the man who described himself as " praeceptor amoiris" or " teacher of Love " - well it seems that some female called his bluff ! (-:
I smile at his use of the word " hate " - wow that gal must have been something else! I would have loved to have heard her version of the story !
It's an established fact that I am devoted to my art BUT what man could be that dull or stuck on himself that a woman could not be enamoured by his sweet charms or think of anything else in a moment of passion? Jeesh ........Ovid, be damned !
