No wonder natural, complete, striving souls hide their true natures
under a false exterior, when women like _you_ rule church and society.
What shame or degradation is there, pray, in being animate with the
all-pervading impulse which underlies the entire universe? Every planet,
every tree, every flower, every insect, is the result of sex seeking
sex, atom calling atom.
The universe _is_ because of the law of sex attraction.
And you, poor, puny, pallid woman, dare decry and despise that law, and
dare insult God's animate creature!
Know this, madam, there is no strength worth boasting that has not
conquered weakness. No virtue worth the name that has not conquered
temptation. No greatness of character that has not overcome unworthy
impulses.
Enjoy your negative goodness and be glad you are "good."
Morality is acceptable to the world, however it conies; but dare not sit
in judgment on other human beings fighting battles whose smoke never
reaches your nostrils, striving for heights of which you never even
dream, and who meanwhile have missed certain degradations which you seem
to consider creditable achievements.
