Ever Been In A Moment Like This?

I started to write about passion this evening and went looking for material to inspire. Instead of writing, I must share one of my favorite passages of poetry of all time--

From Don Juan, Canto the First, CXVII

And Julia's voice was lost, except in sighs,
Until too late for useful conversation;
The tears were gushing from her gentle eyes,
I wish indeed they had not had occasion,
But who, alas! can love, and then be wise?
Not that remorse did not oppose temptation;
A little still she strove, and much repented
And whispering "I will ne'er consent" -- consented.

I think I remember the rest of this.

She offered her honor.
I honored her offer.
So all the night long
It was on her and off her.

Awww, YOU RUINED IT!!!! See, if men would just insert foot about 5 seconds prior to saying what they do, they would get what they want more often.... LOL

Actually, Yeti... But, I'll be damned if that doesn't fit pretty well.
