"The Sun Dance of the Blackfoot Indians"
Clark Wissler
Its aspect of lovely austere virginity, candid, serene, strictly girt, touched very finely on the fibres of sense and soul.

Clemence Housman
Thou callest, thou callest and thou hast forgot That thou the same art not Who came to me In thy virginity.
"Poems"
Rainer Maria Rilke
