While in France, on the same web page of a national publication, a young  and, needless to say attractive, woman displays her genitals in front of Gustave Courbet’s L’Origine du monde as the debate rages on over the offensive nature of fully clothed female bodies on a beach, in pure Canadian style, I appeal to Robertson Davies (1913-1995) for a bit of respite. Excerpt from a collection of quotes from his works:

“Sometimes there was a serious article on a hot topic, and I especially remember one by a bishop headed “Is Nudity Salacious?” The bishop thought it need not be, if encountered in the proper spirit, but he gave a lot of enlightening examples of conditions under which it might be, in his word, “inflammatory.” There wasn’t much nudity in our neck of the woods, and I enjoyed that article tremendously.” –  Robertson Davies, A Rake at Reading
