He put a wreath of violets upon her and began to tell her the story of Echo, but only after asking in return for his lesson a payment of ten more of her kisses.
Jean Nicolas Laugier Daphnis and Chloe, etching, 1817
Dear PINK’s
Below an small, naughty extract from Longus inmortal pink pages:
She ordered him to sit down beside her, just as he was, and to kiss her in the usual way and number. Then, while he was kissing her, she told him to embrace her and lie down on the ground. He sat down, kissed her, and lay down on the ground. By now Lykainion knew that he was swollen and ready for the deed. She raised him from lying on his side and, wiggling under him, she guided him on the road so long sought. As for what followed, she didn’t do anything special. Nature itself taught him what was left to be done.
His education in Eros completed, Daphnis still had the shepherd’s way of thinking and started to run back to Chloe and do right away with her what he had learned. He was afraid he would forget if waited around. But Lykainion helped him up and said: “There’s more you have to learn, Daphnis. I am a woman and did not feel pain, for long ago another man taught me what I now tell you–at the cost of my virginity. Should Chloe wrestle with you, she will weep and cry, and lie in a lot of blood. Don’t be afraid of the blood, but when you’ve persuaded her, bring her here to this place so that, if she cries out, no one will hear her, and if she weeps, no one will see her, and if she bleeds, she can bathe in the spring. Remember that I have made you a man before Chloe.”
