“It is perhaps a sign of bondage to the phenomenal world, the terror and pain before the arrival of death, or the serene but saddened resignation with which the greeks made it a sweet sister of sleep; for the free spirit it should be, like sound and color, false, exterior and fleeting. And the higher we will rise the less we consider death as a riddle or a ghost, the more we look at it as a form within forms.”

The woman is very close to Nature; she has the same enchantment and the same dangers.”
