''The Sweltering Night Life--''
The sweltering night life has a certain,
darkly, sensual appeal,--a
sexuality about it that draws
the wildlife out.
It is a world of darkness,
a place and time
of shadow and mystery
when strangers fornicate.
During the night, the stars come out;
the moon-glow is bright;
and eager libidos are on the prowl.
While all around, the nocturnal
rhythms increase.
When the darkness takes over, the night life
takes notice. Desperate men and women
change with the musth of night;
and--like a herd of wild elephants in
heat--they feel and obey its intoxicating power
to the cadence and gyrations of its nocturnal music.
