MOBY DICK, by Herman Melville (Modern Library, New York, 1930)
EXTRACTS: pp.36–27, 71–74, 76–78
Upon waking next morning about daylight, I found Queequeg’s arm thrown over me in the most loving and affectionate manner. You had almost thought I had been his wife…my sensations were strange…
Considering how sociably we had been sleeping together the night previous, and especially considering the affectionate arm I had found over me in the morning…I began to feel myself mysteriously drawn towards him…I drew my bench near him, and made some friendly signs and hints…at first he little noticed these advances; but presently…made out to ask me whether we were again to be bedfellows. I told him yes; whereat I thought he looked pleased…and when our smoke was over, he pressed his forehead against mine, clasped me around the waist, and said that henceforth we were married;…”
Men and wife…thus, then, in our hearts’ honeymoon, lay I an Queequeg—a cozy, loving pair.
We had lain thus in bed, chatting and napping at short intervals, and Queequeg now an then affectionately throwing his brown tattooed legs over mine, and then drawing them back; so sociable and free and easy were we…
See our elastic our stiff prejudices grow when love once comes to bend them. For now I liked nothing better than to have Queequeg smoking by me, even in bed, because he seemed to be full of such serene household joy then.

Western civilization tends to regard even a mild homosexual as abnormal. We have only to turn to other cultures, however, to realize that homosexuals have by no means by uniformly inadequate
[l.]
to the social situation. In some societies they have been especially acclaimed. Plato’s REPUBLIC is, of course, the most convincing statement of the honorable estate of homosexuality. It is presented as a major means to the good life, and Plato’s high ethical evaluation of this response was upheld in the customary behavior of Greece at that period.
THE SYMPOSIUM, by Plato (translated by Hamilton)
EXTRACT: pp.12, 50, 52, 62, 106, 118
The love with which the dialogue is concerned, and which is accepted as amatter of course by all the speakers, including Socrates, is homosexual love; it is assumed without argument that this is capable of satisfying a man’s highest and noblest aspirations.
The object of our custom then is to subject lovers to a thorough test; it encourages the lover to pursue and the beloved to flee, in order that the right kind of a lover may in the end be gratified and the wrong kind excluded…
Suppose that a boy grants favor to lover believing him to be rich…
If male coupled with male, at any rate the desire for intercourse would be satisfied, and men set free from it to return to other activities.
Those who take pleasure in physical contact with men…Such boys and lads are the best of their generation because they are the most manly…Such a pair practically refuse ever to be separated, even for a moment.
Alcibiades: I got up and covered him (Socrates) with my own clothes and threw my arm around this truly superhuman and wonderful man, and remained thus the whole night long.
Sparta, in particular, was notoriously given to homosexuality. (translator’s note, p.118)

THE ILLUSIONIST, by Francoise Mallet (Pocket Book ed. The Loving & the Darling; Popular Library Edition, 1954, Published by arrangement with Farrar, Straus, and Young)

Then she came toward me. I really thought she wanted to torture me still further, that maybe she was going to strike me, and I resigned myself to submit to everything. But she knelt down beside me, took me in her arms, and kissed me, slowly, expertly, deliciously, until at last she had pushed me over backward and I lay in her arms on the floor…Never have I known pleasure more intense than on that day when I thought I had lost her.

The story of a guilty attachment.
EXTRACT:
The fingers stopped their movement and gripped tighter. In a single passionate impulse Stephen jerked the unresisting body to him, almost lifting it from the bed, drawing the fact close to him until he could feel on his cheeks the cool jest of air that expelled from Fabien’s nostrils.

For from what I heard at first in Jupien’s shop, which was only a series of inarticulate sounds, I imagine that few words had been exchanged. It is true these sounds were so violent that, if one set had not always been taken up an octave higher by a parallel plaint, I might have thought the one person was the murderer and his resuscitated victim were taking a bath to wash away the traces of the crime.
