I wonder if you understand- I wonder if I understand myself. You, you might marry, a man who would not pour himself out like fire before you. The marriage of Gertrude and Walter Morel has become a battleground. It would be a woman I could kiss and embrace, whom I could make the mother of my children, whom I could talk to playfully, trivially, earnestly, but never with this dreadful seriousness. If people marry, they must live together as affectionate humans who may be commonplace with each other without feeling awkward- not as two souls. As yet, we are mortal, and to live side by side with one another would be dreadful, for somehow, with you I cannot long be trivial, and, you know, to be always beyond this mortal state would be to lose it.
