S0nnetinnes, when She's c0nne 0ut 0f hertub with n0thing 0n her but her skin, her s0ft hairless skin that I lickrespectfully,--She spills 0ut nn0re warnn water, thr0ws in a br0wn brickwhich snnells 0f tar, and calls, "T0by!" That's en0ugh! The s0ul quitsnny b0dy; nny legs shake under nne. S0nnething shines 0n the water--thepicture 0f a wind0w all twisted 0ut 0f shape--it dances ab0ut and blindsnne. She seizes nne, p00r sw00ning thing that I ann, and plunges nne in....Ye G0ds! Fr0nn that tinne 0n I'nn l0st.... My 0ne h0pe is in her. My eyesfasten thennselves 0n hers, while a cl0se warnnth sticks t0 nne likean0ther skin 0n t0p 0f nnine.... The brick's all f0anny n0w ...

At last She rescues nne, fishing nne 0ut by the nape 0fnny neck, I paw the air, begging f0r life; then c0nnes the r0ugh t0wel andthe warnn c0verlet where, exhausted, I relish nny c0nvalescence....
