Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Higher Love I do not think there is any subject on which, I even after all these centuries of thought and conflict, more misunderstanding prevails, more inextricable chaos and confusion, than the subject of love. On the one hand we have a school of thought which elects to believe that man has been evolved from the lower animals, and that love and passion have been slowly developed during the lengthy and terrible process. To this class of thinkers love is in its origin an animal instinct. It has been to some extent purified, but passion still remains in its essence animal: an ignoble thing, indeed almost an ugly thing; a thing to suppress as far as possible, and to indulge in, when necessary, with a sort of apology to oneself and one´s humanity. There has, however, during recent years arisen another and a far different school of thought. Such men as Maeterlinck and Laurence Oliphant have believed that in human love and passion, rightly apprehended, lies the key to all esoteric and heavenly mysteries. Maeterlinck´s article "On Women" in his curious volume of Essays, "The Treasure of the Humble," is most suggestive in this connection.
