There really is very little difference between a wife of honourable rank if she is faithless in how she deals with her body,
and a penniless woman without rank, except that if they both behave badly then, because of the gentlewoman's rank,
people call her his lady love, but call the poor woman his slut or his leman. - 1915, Oscar Wilde, A House of Pomegranates: The Fisherman and his Soul:
- '...They are lost, I tell thee, they are lost. For them there is no heaven nor hell, and in neither shall they praise God’s name.’
‘Father,’ cried the young Fisherman, ‘thou knowest not what thou sayest. Once in my net I snared the daughter of a King. She is fairer than the morning star, and whiter than the moon. For her body I would give my soul, and for her love I would surrender heaven. Tell me what I ask of thee, and let me go in peace.’
‘Away! Away!’ cried the Priest: ‘thy leman is lost, and thou shalt be lost with her.’
And he gave him no blessing, but drove him from his door.
- '...They are lost, I tell thee, they are lost. For them there is no heaven nor hell, and in neither shall they praise God’s name.’
- 1932, Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Sunset Song:
