Your problem is to fuse into har-
mony the natural impulses, not to
suppress them. There is no such
thing as killing anything, either In
the world of thought or Of materi-
atty. Whatever you have fancied
you killed will sooner or later rise
from its grave-clothes and confront
you.
Since you are inherently analyt-
ical and evidently prefer to face
facts rather than to glide or to ig-
more them, let us face few.
No matter whether you marry, or
whom you marry, you will still
