Example Sentences
- "Let realism have its demonstration, comedy its criticism, or even bawdry its horselaugh at the expense of sexual infatuation, if it must; but to ask us to subject our souls to its ruinous glamour, to worship it, deify it, and imply that it alone makes our life worth living, is nothing but folly gone mad erotically—a thing compared to which Falstaff's unbeglamored drinking and drabbing is respectable and rightminded."
- "They also practice healing, and, during the course of their services, shout and dance as erotically and sincerely as savages around a jungle fire."
- "Wits is voyeur to the underbelly of the city; like a madam in a knock-shop, she watches equivocally the mess of city garbage tangled erotically with roadside gambling and sunglass-snatching"
