AN: Rosiére is a virgin thanked with a rose for her virginity.
.
"...rosiére, bedecked with marvelous red and pastel roses for her purity, mocked for her spinsterhood."
Grantaire´s words made Enjolras to look up from his papers. "I don´t see why she should be mocked for her virginity. You said that she is pure; opposite of purity is uncleanliness and corruption. No, I do not vilify romantic or erotic love as unclean or corrupted, but I don´t see marriage and sex as something compulsory."
"So you want to be virgin in your forties? In your seventies?" Grantaire´s expression was impossible to read.
"Why not?" Enjolras asked, continuing writing.
