236

What Dante and Goethe believed about women - the former when he sang "ella guardava suso, ed io in lei" [she looked upward and I at her] and the latter when he translated this passage as "the Eternally Feminine draws us upwards" - I have no doubt that every more aristocratic woman will resist this faith, for she believes the very same about the Eternally Masculine. . . .
