Passages from Letter Sinned "Edith.'
The letter signed Edith contains

the blue black inanity ceases TO be IT

Is the human soul immodest when,
drawn by a force II cannot resist, II
seeks a stronger soul which absorbs its
ego as the blue sky absorbs a floating
cloud and as the warm wind swells
the sea, as the magnet draws the iron?
