India, Rajasthan or Uttar Pradesh; 10th century
An Indian text on temple art notes the auspicious importance of these figures: “As a house without a wife, as frolic without a woman, so, without the figure of a women the monument will be of inferior quality and will bear no fruit.”
The Asia Society

I liked you best through the window
Dedicating the first fruits of your maturity
To the teenage dance at the yacht club
Your solid thighs your awkward attempts
To perform the basic duties of a dancer
Your quick eyes targeting an objective
Based on a hazy analysis of desirability
Various archetypical scenarios scripting
A procedure text for the moon
.
Compelled to seek a closer understanding
Of that which binds your chaotic fullness
I’m the wild wild unicorn
The little fish you virgin
Captured in your holy grail sweet
Fermenting vessel of proleptic grace
.
Walking in the darkness of the outbuildings
First woman changing woman advancing
Toward the role of ideal woman with each foot
Approaching holiness sacred above sacred below
The electrodynamics of your moving body
So white so lovingly displayed our final
Communion explicit sloppy and successful
Silver seed sprouting a dark flawed feeling
We’ll readdress tomorrow recontrol as well
Tonight’s beautiful price sufficient for now
We felt so much for each other— Heinrich Heine

The years pass like clouds— Joseph von Eichendorff
Oh, dread of life streaming from the living flesh with which the bones are clothed, softness of the skin spread and stretched over it, dreadful warning of the skeleton and the many-ribbed breast frame which he can now embrace and which, breathing, now presses against him, heart beating against his.— Hermann Broch, The Romantic
