The speaker descends into a bizarre vision, observing a sphinx staring cruelly at him in a desert, moving its thighs slowly and almost sexually, perhaps offering him the clues to understanding what is happening around him while also embodying primal, ancient ways of being and creative, fertile energies that represent a potential union and rebirth. When he reemerges from the vision, the speaker reenters reality, having totally departed from it temporarily. The poem ends where it began: in a haze of ominous foreshadowing, the specter of a looming monster of the future rapidly approaching, the universe spinning and growing into something different than it was. Whether that future is an evil mess of pure chaos, or whether it will offer some sort of freedom and possibility, remains undecided. The Second Coming Questions and Answers The Question and Answer section for The Second Coming is a great resource to ask questions, find answers, and discuss the novel. The poem's Christian themes are written into the title.
Swedish schoolgirl (pretty mature-looking to me) Theresa Svensson is caught exploring her sexuality and her prim older sister ships her off to boarding school. However it's obviously the Swedish campus of Harrad University and faculty-student relations are quite friendly. Helpful American exchange coed Brigitte Maier gives Eva some private lessons, and Eva adapts them to hetero. Meanwhile, a stuffy lawyer arrives to investigate the school and the frisky coeds decide to convert him from puritanism. Directed by renowned cinematographer Mac Ahlberg, this is a cute comedy with a number of pretty, naked girls and a few segments of XXX. American Brigitte Maier does lioness' share of the outright hardcore (not that there is a lot of it in any case). Annica Salomonsson, wow-level brunette beauty, bares her body but does nothing explicit, and lead Svensson offers only some nudity and receives a bit of pretty girl-girl from Maier. Picture could have been shot soft X with no loss whatever. Anyone looking for heat is advised to look elsewhere, fast!
