“Aphrodite, The Queen Of The Senses, She, Born Of The Sea-foam, Is The Luminousness Of The Gleaming

“Aphrodite, the queen of the senses, she, born of the sea-foam, is the luminousness of the gleaming senses, the phosphorescence of the sea, the senses become a conscious aim unto themselves; She is the gleaming darkness, she is the luminous night, she is goddess of destruction,”

— D. H. Lawrence, from Selected Poems and Writings; “The Lemon Gardens,” (via violentwavesofemotion)
