Now will I hence to seek my lovely Moor, And let my spleenful sons this trull deflower.
"Titus-Andronicus"
Shakespeare, William
And there is, of course, a particularly noxious type of travelling Briton, who does his best, unconsciously, to deflower his country wherever he goes.
"Another Sheaf"
John Galsworthy
A spate of bees, early colonizers deflower blossoms and strip-mine lava butter of erupting hard-shell tulips: such careless penetrations- volcanic intrusions entomb their hairy bodies caked with the iron-lung of blackened soot petals, each a cough drop on the heaving breath of a declining afternoon.
"Mascara-Viscera"
Paul Cameron Brown
