The way of a man with a maiden

The way of a man with a maiden

The manner of conduct of a man with a woman. Courting of a man after a woman. Or: a euphemistic expression for sexual relations.

("Three things are too wonderful for me, yea, four are beyond my knowledge: The way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a maiden" - Proverbs 30:18-19; and likewise: "And even more so, drawn after the elementary emotion, we were the way of a man with a maiden, they are inclined after a married woman" - Agnon / In Our Youth and in Our Old Age, 254; and also: "The way of a man with a woman who is subdued in the sorrow of his blood and the darkness of his songs" - Nathan Yonatan / Two Voices of Love)
