"Her eyes, her hair, her cheek, her gait, her voice; Handiest in thy discourse O! that her hand, In whose comparison all whites are ink. Writing their own reproach; to whose soft seizure." From Shakespeares comedy's called "Troilius and Cressida". Describing the love that John feels to Lenina. "On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand, may seize And steal immortal blessing from her lips, Who, even in pure and vestal modesty, Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin." From Shakespeare's tragedy "Romeo and Juliet", more lovely words for Lenina from John.
