Prince and Sleeping Beauty



A poem, by English poet Wilfred Owen (1893-1918), about Sleeping Beauty.  See how the man depicted here behaves.



The Sleeping Beauty

Sojourning through a southern realm in youth,
I came upon a house by happy chance
Where bode a marvelous Beauty. There, romance
Flew faerily until I lit on truth--
For lo! the fair Child slumbered. Though, forsooth,
She lay not blanketed in drowsy trance,
But leapt alert of limb and keen of glance,
From sun to shower; from gaiety to ruth;
Yet breathed her loveliness asleep in her:
For, when I kissed, her eyelids knew no stir.
So back I drew tiptoe from that Princess,
Because it was too soon, and not my part,
To start voluptuous pulses in her heart,
And kiss her to the world of Consciousness.




Yes, the man  walks away.  An ascetic he is.



You kiss her on the eye.
You kiss her on the nose.
You kiss her on the ear.
You kiss her on the chin.
You kiss her on the forehead.
