The “ man-eating beasts because of whom we dare not love thee ”, once gone, we can revive the true cultus of the Logos ; the chastitymongering masturbators once swept away, we can without reproach follow our natural inclina- tion to purity : the lawyers and millionnaires and dema- gogues once squelched, we can enjoy our property without alarm.
