My lighter moments are for the world my deeper for myself; and, like the Spartan boy, I would keep, even in the pangs of death, a mantle over the teeth and fangs which are fastening upon my breast. Nocet empta dolore voluptas. Ovid. The FIRST person I saw at the Duke of 's was Mr.
In making love there must be no haste, wrote Ovid: "Crede mihi, non est Veneris properanda voluptas, Sed sensim tarda prolicienda mora." "Husbands, like spoiled children," a woman has written, "too often miss the pleasure which might otherwise be theirs, by clamoring for it at the wrong time.
They consisted of a tapestry with garlands of flowers, and medallions. In each medallion were the letters S.P.Q.R. and various epicurean phrases of the Romans: "Carpe diem.
