What worse crime can there be than that of Befouling youth?
"The Devil's Garden"
W. B. Maxwell
Here was an old, or an elderly man, not driven by the force of normal, full-blooded desire, but craftily plotting, treacherously abusing his power, because he was rotten with impure whims-Befouling youth and innocence just to obtain a few faint voluptuous thrills.
"The Devil's Garden"
W. B. Maxwell
To keep oneself unspotted, to feel conscious of no sense of stain, to know, yes, to hear the heart repeat that this self-hands, face, mouth and skin-is free from all Befouling touch, is all one's own.
"A Mere Accident"
George Moore
