"The dress of a woman of Lhasa,
In its place,
Is an invisible element of that place
Made visible."
quotes Geary from W. Stevens. This reminds me of the erotics of dressing.
While I agree that dressing and undressing inhabitants of Lhasa can be _very_
erotic, I am also *reminded* of Sir Noel Coward's adage:
"Better with your socks off"
(from his song "Time and again" -- The lyrics to this wonderful song don't
seem to be online, and I should quote them some other time).
I submit that _dressing_, in the sexual sense of the word (cf. 'undressing')
has all to do with eroticism and sex, but hardly with _love_ which cannot be
_made_ with your socks on.
Cheers,
JL
