LIBER ALEPH VEL CXI
34
Ah
De Libertate Corporis
(Of Liberty of the Body)
HERE shall be no Property in Human Flesh. Every
Man and every Woman hath Right Indefeasable to
give the Body for the Enjoyment of any other.
The Exercise of this Right shall not be punished either by
Law or by Custom; there shall be no Penalty either by Loss or
Curtailment of Liberty, of Rights, of Wealth, or of Social
Esteem; but this Freedom shall be respected of all, seeing that
it is the Right of the Bodily Will. For this same Reason thou
shalt cause full Restriction and Punishment of any who may
seek to limit that Freedom for the sake of his own Profit, or
Desire, or Ideal. Every Man and every Woman has full right
either to grant or to deny the Body, as the Will speaketh
within. This being made Custom, the Evils of Love, which
are many, extending to the Disturbance not only of Body but
of Mind, and that in obscure Paths, shall little by little
disappear from the Face of His unspeakable Glory.
