I see what you mean, I was looking at a different angle. The
erotic qualities of jewellery, which I think are generally quite
poor, unless worn alone.

Absolutely, disco dancing equals display.
gifts equal ritual feeding.
Give a diamond in the hope of a ****, but alcohol works too and
is cheaper.

"La très-chère était nue, et, connaissant mon coeur,
Elle n'avait gardé que ses bijoux sonores,
Dont le riche attirail lui donnait l'air vainqueur
Qu'ont dans leurs jours heureux les esclaves des Mores", isn't it?

Or, as Ogden Nash put it: "Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker."

Do they? I give myself to a woman, and for that she will be grateful.
What more could she ask for?

Translate Baudelaire? Moi? Not a chance. Here's Richard Howard's
(fairly free) version instead:

My darling was naked, or nearly, for knowing my heart
she had left on her jewels, the bangles and chains
whose jingling music gave her the conquering air
of a Moorish slave on days her master is pleased.
