Those parts which can be seen at the lowest part of the stomach are the fissure magna, or the great cleft, with its labia or lips, the Mons Veneris, or Mountain of Venus, and the hair. These together are called the pudenda, or things to be ashamed of because when they are exposed they cause a woman pudor, or shame.
Perhaps the much-disputed poem called Pervigilium Veneris belongs to this epoch. It is printed in Weber's Corpus Poetarum, and is well worth reading from the melancholy despondency that breathes through its quiet inspiration.
I suddenly felt the rogue dragging up my skirts and petticoats, and in a few moments his hand was on my naked thigh; he glided over it and his fingers came in contact with the hair covering my Mons Veneris. He had already divided the lips of my coral cavity with his digits and was advancing one in the very center of my vagina when the train entered Philadelphia.
"I tell you that I have been roused to indignation by his Historia de Bello Veneris " "You surprise me: still " " Shocked by his Pornoboscodidascolo " "I can hardly believe it: even so, you must grant " " And horrified by his Liber de immortalitate Mentulae " "Well, conceding you that earlier work, sir, yet, at the same time " " And have been disgusted by his De modo coeundi "
The case-forms of the different declensions are beginning to run into one another: the plural, for example, of insignis is no longer insignes, but, as in Italian, insigni; and the case-inflexions themselves are dwindling away before the free use of prepositions, which was already beginning to show itself in the Pervigilium Veneris.
The Ephemerides contains the account of a woman who had hair from the mons veneris which hung to the knees; it was affected with plica polonica, as was also the other hair of the body. Rayer saw a Piedmontese of twenty-eight, with an athletic build, who had but little beard or hair on the trunk, but whose scalp was covered with a most extraordinary crop.
Why had he not thought of his intellectual gifts, his position in the world of art, before? No one in their senses could possibly accuse him in the way he had imagined! and even if the dagger-sheath were found, some explanation might be given, someone else might be found guilty . . . "Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra; Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem!" Again that horrible bell!
It paused in its toil and lifted its head, and from the dark folds of a drooping cowl, two melancholy deep-set eyes glittered out like the eyes of a famished beast. The other spectres paused also, but only for a moment, the bell boomed menacingly over their heads once more, and again they dug and delved, and again they chanted in dreary monotone "Dies magna et amara valde, Dum veneris judicare!
H. M. Westropp, speaking of this says, "The kites or female organ, as the symbol of the passive or productive power of nature, generally occurs on ancient Roman Monuments as the Concha Veneris, a fig, barley corn, and the letter Delta." We are told that the grain of barley, because of its form, was a symbol of the vulva. A great many other female symbols might be mentioned.
