Yonder, far by the gleaming border, Pale gold reaches of sunny sand Stretch their arms to the fierce marauder, The cold sweet sea with its iron hand Menacing all the fair fresh land, Where no tall cliff as a faithful warder, Guarding the coast from its wrath, may stand. Arrows born of the sunlight gleam Through the temperate world of spring, Air moves up in a sweet hot steam, Where the birds in the wheatfields sing; S…

… the conclusion can be carried a step further. When you have proved that God is merely a name for the sex instinct, it appears to me not far to the per- ception that the sex instinct is God.

The fact that the woman committed suicide twelve or fifteen years afterwards is no more against the sanity of the MS. than the suicide of Socrates proves that the Republic is merely the lucubration of a lunatic. I am very far from agreeing with all that this most talented woman sets forth in her paper, b…
