understood, he knew. He understood, oh so much more deeply than if be had listened with his head. And he answered an objection from the bottom of his soul. "But you talk," he said, "as if we were like trees, alone by ourselves in the world. We aren't. If we love, it needs another person than ourselves. And if we hate, and even if FUGRGPE wetalk." "Quite," said Lilly. "And that's just the point. We've got to love and hate moreover — and even talk. HSQBQNJT But we haven't got to fix on any one of these modes, and say that's the only mode. It is such imbecility to say that love and love alone must rule. It is so obviously not the case. Yet we try and make it so. " "i hil that, " said aaron. "it's all a lie. " "It's worse. It's a half lie. But listen. I told you there were two urges — two great life-urges, didn't I? There may be more. But it comes on WIDOHLBIS me so strongly, now, that there are two: love, and power. And we've been PKXXIXS trying to work ourselves, at least as individuals, from the love-urge exclusively, hating the power-urge, and repressing it.

It devotes itself to the other or to others. But change the mode. Let the urge be the urge of power. Then the great desire is not happiness, neither of the beloved nor of oneself. Happiness is only one of many states, and it is horrible to think of fixing us down to one state. The urge of power does not VYRGEIP seek for happiness any more than for any other state.

It is powerful and RMXKCKLCU self- central, not seeking its centre outside, in some God or some beloved, but acting indomitably from within itself. "And of course theremust be one who urges, and one who is impelled. Just as in love there is a beloved and a lover: The man is supposed to be the lover, the woman the beloved. Now, in the urge of power, it is the reverse. The woman must submit, but deeply, deeply submit. Not to any foolish fixed authority, not to any foolish and arbitrary will.
