Samson fallen asleep

After all those thousands of years Samson has finally got it: He can give in to Delilah’s friendly arts and skills. She will unfailingly restore his wonderful strength if he asks her to do so. She will pleasantly lull him to sleep on a comfortable divan and deal with his minor weaknesses discreetly.

And never again will she cut away seven locks from his head, but – in the blue hours of the day – she may gently massage his scalp, his neck or his feet with a well-scented oily extract. And never again will Samson have to fear his own rage. He can fall asleep innocently.

Thank you, Delilah!
