"Monsters," Niggers, Jews 
Cara Soror, 
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. 
As you say, "Every man and every woman is a star" does 
need some attention 
to the definition of "man" and 
"woman." What is the position, you say, of "monsters"? And 
men of "inferior" races, like the Veddah, Hottentot and the 
Australian Blackfellow? There must be a line somewhere, and 
will 1 please draw it? You make me feel like Giotto! 
There is one remark which 1 must make at the beginning. 
It's some poet or other, Tennyson or Kipling, 1 think (I 
forget who) that wrote: "Folks in the loomp, is baad." It is 
true all round. Someone wisely took note that the vilest man 
alive had always found someone to love him. Remember the 
monster that Sir Frederick Treves picked up from an East 
End peep-show, and had petted by princesses? (What a 
cunning trick!) Revolting, all the same, to read his account of 
it. He-the monster, not Treves!-seems to have been a most 
charming individual-ah! 
That's the word we want. Every 
individual has some qualities that endear him to some other. 
And per contra, 1 doubt if there is any class which is not 
detestable to some other class. Artists, police, the clergy, 
"reds," 
foxhunters, 
Freemasons, Jews, "heaven-born," 
women's clubwomen (espeically in U.S.A.), "Methody," 
golfers, dog-lovers; you can't find one body without its 
'natural' enemies. It's right, what's worse; every class, as a 
class, is almost sure to have more defects than qualities. As 
soon as you put men together, 
they somehow sink,
