"You refused to satisfy my eager longing; on the contrary, you increased it by the obstinate refusals of an alarmed modesty."
seemingly contradictory
to be shocked/ excited while also
subtle/ shy
untamed hair, covering half her face
leaning next to a stairway
bare legs, crossed one in front of each other
she didn't say a single word
her mouth half open
biting the side of a lower lip
arms across the front of her chest
robe wrapped tight,
holding herself in/ or back
- Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu
