Ezra Pounds translation of Remy du Gormant’s The Natural Philosophy of Love.
A late 1800’s tract about sexual instincts in animals. And translated from the french with succinctness and intensity by the great Ezra.
Loved it.

A satirical essay written by Erasmus of Rotterdam, first printed in June 1511.
Folly, finds and even kind of praises self-deception, it accepts that madness moves within us, employs and ennobles (as well as shocks and mocks) the propensity of our delusions, including the pious.
