#meretriciousness

[godrise]

It was by all accounts, a vibrant spectacle (well worth the .25 ¢ admission fee, if you managed to avoid stepping squarely into a pile of elephant dung) but to the keen eye, upon the guttering of the last candle, churned the playful meretriciousness of the evening into something much more grotesque. 

[inlaidgarbage]

To trust thee from my side, imagin'd wise, Constant, mature, proof against all assaults, And understood not all was but a shew Rather then solid vertu, all but a Rib Crooked by nature, bent, as now appears,  More to the part sinister from me drawn, Well if thrown out, as supernumerarie To my just number found. 

-Paradise Lost (Adam to Eve, Book 10)
