![“[Eroticism is] the poetry of the body, the testimony of the senses. Like a poem, it is not linear, it meanders and twists back on itself, shows us what we do not see with our eyes, but in the eyes of our spirit. Eroticism reveals to us another world, inside this world. The senses become servants…” quote by Octavio Paz](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/9ea/octavio-paz-1790_another-world_eroticism-is-the-poetry-of-the-body-the_2728799.jpg)
