The school of love
To love and care for your integrity
is paramount and primary as my concern for you
as your respectful lover,
caring more for your protection than for having you.
They say the gentleman is dead,
that he was extirpated in the rotten age of world wars,
the most difficult and dark barbaric period in history;
but since man has survived,
and there continue to be ladies,
there will always also be new gentlemen to ressurect,
since love is unavoidable as constant miracle
and the sole breeder of both ladies and their gentlemen.
The gentle soft touch that true love requires
craves nobility of gentlemen and subtlety of ladies;
and that is the school of our love
which I am honoured to be tutored in by you.
