I said to a Bedouin woman: "What do you consider love to be among you?" "Hugging, embracing, winks, and conversation," she replied. Then she asked: "How is it among you, city-dweller?" "He sits amidst her four limbs and presses her to the limit," I answered. "Nephew," she cried, "this is no lover, but a man after child!"
Al-Asmai, 740 - 828 CE
