Quote from this book

"Again and again, he [Kána-aná] would come with a delicious banana to the bed where I was lying, and insist upon my gorging myself ... He would mesmerize me into a most refreshing sleep with a prolonged and pleasing manipulation ... He lay close by me. His sleek figure, supple and graceful in reponse, was the embodiment of free, untrammelled youth."
from "Chumming with a Savage"
