The Scented Garden

Ecstasy master of circumstance. 111 of stays, and made to walk several hours a day for a number of months. 2. A very convenient doctrine : all this — (This note appears unfinished.) I wish one could teach it to the English wife, for ever on the groan as she is that she is neglected, and then crying out again when one gets her with child. The solution of the sex-problem is given in the Arab proverb, “ Women for children, and boys for pleasure.” I strongly ad- vocate the putting of women in their proper sphere ; they should breed, nurse, educate, and perform those physical tasks for which their coars- er nervous system and lack of intelligence fit them. But no woman is a fit companion for a man ; she of necessity degrades him. Luckily, in the case of the best men, she disgusts him. How many women have left any mark on history, save by the excess of their impudicities and whore- doms ? We must exclude those born to queendom. I can think but of one, Jeanne d’Arc, an example of the opposite abnormality, frigidity.
