Imenus
“…The carnal pleasure enjoyed in a sick
and a corrupt way we should love even more,
rarely finding the body able to feel
what carnal pleasure desires—
that, in a sick and corrupt way, it provides
an erotic intensity that health does not know…”
Part of a letter written
by young Imenus (from the patricians), notorious
in Syracuse for his debauchery,
in the debauched times of Michael, the Third.
