I will cover you with love when next I see you, with caresses, with
ecstasy. I want to gorge you with all the joys of the flesh, so that you
faint and die. I want you to be amazed by me, and to confess to yourself
that you had never even dreamed of such transports.... ~Gustave Flaubert,
letter to wife Louise Colet, 15 August 1846
