Body love Quote by Eunice Odio
““Beloved in whose body I rest, What will your dream be like when I have sought you without finding you? Oh, my love, most sweet as the allusion of a spikenard between distant brown scents, What will become of your heart when I love you? What will it be like to find you when your body is love and your voice a bouquet of light?…””
