"I was in love with a woman who was all grace and perfection, beautiful of shape, and gifted with all imaginative charms. Her cheeks were like roses, her forehead lily white, her lips like coral; she had teeth like pearls and breasts like pomegranates. Her mouth opened round like a ring; her tongue seemed to be incrusted with precious gems; her eyes, black and finely slit, had the languor of slumber, and her voice the sweetness of sugar. With her form pleasantly filled out, her flesh was mellow like fresh butter and pure as the diamond.

As to her vulva, it was white, prominent, round as an arch; the centre of it was red and breathed fire, without a trace of humidity; for, sweet to the touch, it was quite dry. When she walked it showed in relief like a dome or an inverted cup. In reclining it was visible between her thighs, looking like a kid couched on a hillock."


p 141, from The Perfumed Garden, translated by Sir Richard Burton
