William Blake on seduction.

Blake is one of the few poets I remember from high school English, and to this day I still live "The Tyger"

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Cool poem and the words are true, too. But going through his wiki page, I found that he asked for a woman's hand in the least alpha way possible. It's the antithesis of everything PUA (or is it?).

I prefer

"Come live with me, and be my love

And we will all the pleasures prove" - Marlowe, "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love"

I actually said that to a girl in a bar once (she seemed pretty educated), and she liked it, but I didn't get laid.

Crazy thing is, that was written by a gay guy.
