5152They stood brow to brow, brown to white, black to black, he supporting her elbows, she playing her limp light fingers over his collarbone, and how he "ladored,"he said, the dark aroma of her hair blending with crushed lily stalks, Turkish cigarettes and the lassitude that comes from "lass." "No, no, don't," she said, I must wash, quick-quick, Ada must wash; but for yet another immortal moment they stood embraced in the hushed avenue, enjoying as they had never enjoyed before, the... Vladimir Mayakovsky
If you like. I'll be furious flesh elemental, or- changing to tones that the sunset arouses- if you like-I'll be extraordinary gentle, not a man but - a cloud in trousers. Vladimir Mayakovsky

Men, crumpled like bed-sheets in hospitals, And women, battered like overused proverbs. Vladimir Mayakovsky
There’s no grandfatherly fondness in me, There are no gray hairs in my soul! Shaking the world with my voice and grinning, I pass you by, - handsome, Twentytwoyearold. Vladimir Mayakovsky
