The subject of lesbian eroticism and desire in today’s society brings to mind the images of women engaging in lewd acts. The poems “Friendship’s Mystery to My Dearest Lucasia” set by Mr. H Lawes ,“To the Fair Clarinda, Who made Love to Me, Imagined More than Woman” by Aphra Behn and “Decade” by Amy Lowell each have their own take on this subject.

to me how Platonic love relates strongly to a relationship such as my own. To begin, I focused upon the term “Love is aroused by Beauty.” In this sense, I do not necessarily agree with Plato’s view.
