Death and Sensuality (Patreon)

"Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled; not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaining it. "


"Poetry leads to the same place as all forms of eroticism — to the blending and fusion of separate objects. It leads us to eternity, it leads us to death, and through death to continuity. Poetry is eternity; the sun matched with the sea."


Erotism, Georges Bataille
