Please, Sin #11

(May a voice on the phone be an orgiastic music?)


Please sin, but watch your mind out (hereafter is another version of the Temptation of St Anthony by Felicien Rops (1878), in Bibliothèque Royale Albert 1er, Brussels, where smiling Flesh replaces the sacrified Christ ("place aux jeunes")):


"Ce tant folâtre Monsieur Rops
Qui n'est pas un grand prix de Rome
Mais dont le talent est grand comme
La pyramide de Chéops"
Beaudelaire, 1870.
