| Re: Which book is this quote from?
I believe this is a quote from The Knight, but I'm only 75% sure of this.
As to it's meaning? Only the author knows for sure and asking Mr. Wolfe to answer such a question would be futile.
For what it's worth, here is my interpretation:
The person speaking has never laid with a woman and can only imagine a womans strengths and weaknesses. He knows woman only through the bragging and/or complaints of others and prefers to imagine a companion who will match his intellect and lay with him by choice rather than conquest or purchase.
The speaker imagines a woman who will verbally challenge him and his advances only to find quite suddenly she has fallen for him. A woman whom he could win her heart, but would refuse gifts in exchange for love.
I hope this helps and please remember, this is only my opinion and I am a hopeless romantic! |
