Hey /lit/,
I am specifically looking for poems, songs or tales about the sin Lust as I am currently putting together an album about the seven deadly sins and am in need of some inspiration.

So lets discuss and share literature about this deadly sin.

Definitely check out Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market.” A little long but worth the read for sure.

Book or poem?

It’s a poem, but it’s a Victorian narrative poem. I would say it takes up around 10 or so pages in a book format.

Here’s an excerpt to tempt you:

She clipp’d a precious golden lock,
She dropp’d a tear more rare than pearl,
Then suck’d their fruit globes fair or red:
Sweeter than honey from the rock,
Stronger than man-rejoicing wine,
Clearer than water flow’d that juice;
She never tasted such before,
How should it cloy with length of use?
She suck’d and suck’d and suck’d the more
Fruits which that unknown orchard bore;
She suck’d until her lips were sore;
Then flung the emptied rinds away
But gather’d up one kernel stone,
And knew not was it night or day
As she turn’d home alone.
