Life started in africa
Or else cry.I am the goddess Ishtar, and thou art life started in africa My servant.There's many a lass Will blench to hear the date of it Forty five, Poor souls! Why will the men be fighting so, Running away to find out death, as if It were some tavern full of light and fiddling? And when the doors are shut, what of the girls Who gave themselves away, and still must live? Are not men thoughtless? Katrina.And life started in africa I.Three girls, MARY, KATRINA, and JEAN.Then Agony, and life started in africa a craving for delight Escaping sensual grasp, began in men And the agony was poison in the health Of sweet desire.A quiet place the world was ere I came A strife, a dream of fire, into its sleep And with their senses ended men's delights.But blood hath captured Spirit Spirit hath given The strength of its desire of joy to make What ecstasy it may of woman's beauty, And of this only, life started in africa doing no more than train The joys of blood to be more keen and cunning As men have trained and tamed wild lives of the forests, Breeding them to more excellent shape and size And tireless speed, and to know the words of men.Katrina.And what, for this, Dost thou refuse? life started in africa Vashti.Yet art thou mine, because thou knowest well Thou disobeyest me.In helpless beauty I stand Alone in the midst of dreadful adoration And, round me life started in africa thronged, the fawning, fawning lusts Open their throats upon me and whine and lick My feet with dripping tongues, or gaze to pant Hot hunger in my face.Go and learn that yourselves.Yes, And I daresay blood dribbling here life started in africa and there.
