"the joke"
is also humbug. In fact, the two last-mentioned methods will be seen to
involve concessions to woman on the part of man quite as large as those
found in marriage. The seducer wishes to rise in his own estimation by
deceiving her; but this very fact that he deceives and wishes to deceive
- that he cares to deceive - is also a demonstration of his dependence
on woman. And the same holds true of him who wishes to experiment with
her.
If I were to imagine any possible relation with woman it would be one so
saturated with reflection that it would, for that very reason, no longer
be any relation with her at all. To be an excellent husband and yet on
the sly seduce every girl, to seem a seducer and yet harbor within one
all the ardor of Romanticism - there would be something to that, for the
concession in the first instance were then annihilated in the second.
Certain it is that man finds his true ideality only in such a
reduplication. All merely unconscious existence must be obliterated, and
its obliteration ever cunningly guarded by some sham expression. Such a
reduplication is incomprehensible to woman, for it removes from her the
possibility of expressing man's true nature in one term. If it were
possible for woman to exist in such a reduplication, no erotic relation
with her were thinkable. But, her nature being such as we all know it to
be, any disturbance of the erotic relation is brought about by man's
true nature which ever consists precisely in the annihilation of that in
which she has her being.
Am I then preaching the monastic life and rightly called Eremita? By no
means. You may as well eliminate the cloister, for after all it is only
a direct expression of spirituality and as such but a vain endeavor to
express it in direct terms. It makes small difference whether you use
gold, or silver, or paper money; but he who does not spend a farthing
but is counterfeit, he will comprehend me. He to whom every direct
expression is
