Ribes then states that "[t]he woman can only be chaste if God ravishes her."Ribes 1996, p. 167. The double meaning of the verb "to ravish" provides grounds for a twofold interpretation. The earthly and more common meaning of the verb would be "to rape"(OED) or "to carry away by force,"Barnhart 1988, "to ravish" and it can be instantly connected to the amorous interpretation, where the relationship between the speaker and God is very physical and sexual.

The album received very positive reviews, but modest sales, selling up to 10,000 copies worldwide. It was named 'Album of the Week' by the Daily Record, who said that the album "has a raw appeal and invites the listener into their inner sanctum and then ravishes them with raucous ferocity". Tim O'Neil of PopMatters said of the album: "This album rocks hard, of that there is no doubt. The Sluts are as exciting and fierce a group as I've heard in quite some time".

New crops of sweet potatoes can be available for harvest as quickly as 3–4 months, making this an easy crop to sell for people of all economic backgrounds. With all of this in mind, SPMMV does not have to reach catastrophic, epidemic levels for poor, malnourished, local communities to feel its effect. If the disease were to effect a small families plot of sweet potatoes used to just feed themselves, the family may not be able to have a stable food supply until they are able to grow more. The spread of SPMMV ravishes crops that people all over heavily rely on to thrive in their communities.

It is not yet union; the ecstasy which is unceasing prayer of the nous, in which one's nous has continuous remembrance of God and has no relation with the `world of sin', is not yet union with God. This union comes about when the Paraclete "...illuminates from on high the man who attains in prayer the stage which is superior to the highest natural possibilities and who is awaiting the promise of the Father, and by His revelation ravishes him to the contemplation of the light" (2,3,35; CWS p. 65). Illumination by God is what shows His union with man. (GK: apathea) and clarity of vision.

The first, in verse, is "The Book of the Seven Degrees" (Das Buch der siben Grade), which comprises 2218 lines, and has only been preserved in one manuscript-that of Heidelberg, transcribed in 1390 by a priest, Ulric Currifex of Eschenbach. In it the author, taking as his starting point the vision of Ezechiel (xl, 22) describes the seven degrees which make the pure soul mount up to the realms of heaven: prayer, penitence, charity, the habitual thought of God, with the devotion, which purifies and which ravishes, union and conformity with God, contemplation of God. The author may have utilized a treatise of the same nature attributed to David of Augsburg.

In Statius' Thebaid, she is portrayed as a sexually aggressive figure who ravishes a youth named Lapithaon despite his being too young and not mature enough for a sexual relationship. From their union is born Alatreus, said to have later become a rival of his own father in terms of youthful good looks: the two could be easily mistaken for brothers thanks to the small age difference. The story of Dercetis, Lapithaon and Alatreus is told to Antigone by her old tutor as she is asking him questions about participants of the war of the Seven against Thebes, Lapithaon and Alatreus being two of those.

Variety called it "a soggy novelitish affair" in which "stiltled dialogue and a screenplay that sits firmly on the fence has resulted in a subject of some significance being wasted."Review of movie at Variety Filmink called it "a fascinatingly odd courtroom drama about artificial insemination, with Steel as a possessive infertile racing car driver married to Julie London, roused to jealousy at the thought of someone else impregnating her. Frank Thring is superb as a barrister, London sings a random song, and there’s a sequence where Steel ravishes London on a Spanish beach intercut with a flamenco performer; Steel is quite effective as a man tormented by his lack of potency." The film was released in Los Angeles in April 1959.

Landscape near Quilleboeuf, c. 1824–1825. Yale Center for British Art Delacroix paid tribute to Bonington's work in a letter to Théophile Thoré in 1861. It reads, in part: > When I met him for the first time, I too was very young and was making > studies in the Louvre: this was around 1816 or 1817... Already in this genre > (watercolor), which was an English novelty at that time, he had an > astonishing ability... To my mind, one can find in other modern artists > qualities of strength and of precision in rendering that are superior to > those in Bonington's pictures, but no one in this modern school, and perhaps > even before, has possessed that lightness of touch which, especially in > watercolours, makes his works a type of diamond which flatters and ravishes > the eye, independently of any subject and any imitation.Noon, Patrick: > Richard Parkes Bonington "On the Pleasure of Painting", page 12.
