Hello Everyone,
I'm seeking help in trying to remember a quote i used to love that described beautifully the exchange of power that exists in D/s relationships.
Unfortunatley i dont remember who wrote it or much of the words but in part went something like this... "I bend yet she obeys..."

I know its not much to work with but if anyone knows what it might be i would really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
camigirl

Hmmm, i gave it a shot but i'll need a bit more information. Can you remember anything at all, perhaps something about the author, where you last saw it, anything at all?

Hi Softandshy,
Thanks for trying!
However someone was kind enough to send an email with the information.
Its by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow...

As unto the bow the cord is,
So unto the man is woman;
Though she bends him, she obeys him,
Though she draws him, yet she follows;
Useless each without the other!

I just love it,
camigirl
