@pierce-the-veil - are you aware of the dance of the 7 veils? "a term used to refer to the dance performed by Salome before Herod Antipas." "The Babylonian goddess Ishtar "performed the first documented striptease" when she descended into the underworld in search of Tammuz. Ishtar had to "relinquish her jewels and robes at each of the seven gates to the underworld until she stands naked in the 'land of no return.' Oscar Wilde assigned this symbolic descent to the underworld of the unconscious, a ceremony that equates stripping naked to being in a state of truth, the ultimate unveiling, to Salome."

@pierce-the-veil: Short Answer? No. More Importantly, way to bring the esoteric sauce to the table brother.
Wilde was definitely on point with that analysis.
Well received!
Excellent! Thanks for the compliment : )
Tom Robbins - my favourite author, introduced me to it in his wonderful book "skinny legs and all" - I highly recommend it!
