Description:This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter iii love In spite of Strindberg, Weininger, and other despisers of women, our time has witnessed a rapid increase in man's appreciation of woman's personality.

Love more and more frequently resembles that crocus which flowers in the autumn as well as in the spring.

Rocca was seized by this feeling the instant Mme. de Stael bent over the litter on which the wounded youth lay.
