Arthur Zulu
When I go to the beach to feed my eyes with the wonders of creation,
I cannot look closely because the girls are naked.
When I sit in a dance concert to watch the dancers and lift my soul from the sorrows of life,
I cannot look closely because the girls are naked.
When I attend an award night to watch the megastars and chart my course to stardom,
“Such, such were the joys
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth time were seen
On the Echoing Green.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
I cannot look closely because the girls are naked.
And when I walk home desiring to gaze at the beautiful faces of the damsels, and bless the God of creation,
I cannot look closely because the girls are naked.
What then is this life if a man cannot visit the beach, watch a dance, attend a party, or walk the streets, because the girls are naked!

Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but principally by catchwords; and the little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
