Venus, in our abstract North, in this chilly Christian world, must envelop herself in folds of heavy furs, so as not to freeze.
Venus im Pelz (1870)
It is really a joy to slip furs around a beautiful, luxurious woman, to see and feel how her neck, her lovely limbs snuggle against the costly soft furs, to lift the stray locks of her hair, and place them outside the collar, and when she takes off her cloak and the cosy warmth and the subtle scent of her body lingers on the tips of the sable, the effect is overpowering.
