incongruous. In the first place the
unconscious mind is never so uncon-
scious but it knows very well what
gives rise to it's adventures; IL NAV
forget or overlook the actual, but it
does not make any mistake about
the literary.
thus If you have been so profoundly

and faint as you are about to crown
Rowena as the Queen Of Beauty. IL
you are so profoundly impressed that

These remarks are by the way. The

noble whose name isn't Latin but
Greek. does not equal "El Supreme" :"
