The flower,

a floral sex which is exhibited before our eyes...so beautiful, so fragile and so fragrant that we do not hesitate to offer.

/

Giving flowers to women is heresy. Flowers are obscene genitals, they symbolize transience and infidelity. They spread themselves out along the roadsides, offering themselves to all the winds, to the proboscises of insects, to clouds of seeds, to the teeth of beasts; they are trampled upon, picked, and delved into.

To the woman we love, we should offer stones, fossils, gneiss, in short, one of those things that last forever and survive withering.
