At once familiar and elegant, serious and humorous, enthusiastically appreciative, and yet just and clear-sighted ; but, above all, what the French call personnel.
Seite 39 - A young man, near six feet high, performed the rites of Venus with a little girl about eleven or twelve years of age, before several of our people, and a great number of the natives, without the least sense of its being indecent or improper, but, as appeared, in perfect conformity to the custom of the place.

It is probable, on the contrary, that this custom was first introduced in times of simplicity, that the first thought was to honour the deity in the symbol of life which it has given us. Such a ceremony may have excited licentiousness among youths, and have appeared ridiculous to men of education in more refined, more corrupt, and more enlightened...

It is probable, on the contrary, that this custom was first introduced in times...

Seite 47 - The reverence, as well as worship, paid to the phallus in the early ages had nothing in it which partook of indecency : all ideas connected with it were of a reverential and religious kind. When Abraham, as mentioned in Genesis, in asking his servant to take a solemn oath, makes him lay his hand on his parts of generation (in the common version, " under his thigh"), it was that he required as a token of his sincerity his placing his hand on the most revered part of his body ; as, at the present day,...
