From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
While her lover pledges his devotion the daughter of a wealthy family seems more grateful to have a break in her boring routine and casts aside the books she was reading. He declares: Secretly making love in this place, it's a particularly good feeling. If I could I would stay coupled with you like this for the rest of my life. She responds: Tonight I was feeling lonely, reading a book. Do you think this is too dangerous? Ah- go deeper in, strongly, uh, ooh, ohh... Japan, Asia
