The Sibyl - Artemis

Some wildness runs in Artemis As silver streaks in a jet of coal-black hair This beauty wrought to tempt a man Is by her lesbian air a beauty wasted Her eyes to thine reflect a dream Where senses numb and leave the lips untasted

...although that was the hubris of Orion (was that the guy?) for trying to make it with her - or one of her followers. Lesbians Unite LOL!

Oh - I couldn't disagree with you more - It certainly isn't "a beauty wasted" - I should know - It's a beauty appreciated
