"For being a fool," I declared fiercely, "for believing your cordiality toward me as Dr. Zimmern's friend to mean more than than it should mean." "But I do not understand," she said. "Should I not have told you that I liked you because you were young? Of course if you don't want me to to " She paused abruptly, her face suffused with a delicate crimson.
Was it possible that it had been I who had misunderstood and that Zimmern's love for Marguerite was of another sort than mine? Tensely I awaited his further words, but I did not dare to look at Marguerite, who had taken her place beside him. "I brought her here," Zimmern continued, "for there was no other place where she could go except into the keeping of some man.
Marguerite is very patient with the dull talk of us old men, but life is not all books, and there is much that youth may share." For these words of Zimmern's I was quite unprepared. He seemed to be inviting me to make love to Marguerite, and I wondered to what extent the prevailing social ethics might have destroyed the finer sensibilities that forbid the sharing of a woman's love.
I returned to my own apartment, and when another day had passed, food and sleep had fully restored me to a normal state. I then recalled my promise to inform Hellar and Zimmern of the outcome of my demonstration. I called at Zimmern's quarters but he was not at home. Hence I went to call on Hellar, to ask of Zimmern's whereabouts.
Zimmern's approach is common enough in modern scholarship, but the full significance of it for the creeds we ourselves are making is still something of a novelty. When we are asked to think of the "Republic" as the reaction of decadent Greece upon the conservative temperament of Plato, the function of theory is given a new illumination.
Zimmern's invitation to make use of his library had been cordial enough, but its location in Marguerite's apartment had made me a little reticent about going there except in the Doctor's company. Yet I did not wish to admit to Zimmern my sensitiveness in the matter and the geography had been kept overlong.
Anu, it will be recalled, utters the same cry. See p. 546. Referring to his garments of mourning. I.e., Ea. I follow Zimmern's rendition of the line. Schöpfung und Chaos, pp. 168 seq. Adapa. See pp. 476 seq. The problem of immortality, we have seen, engaged the serious attention of the Babylonian theologians.
It is scarcely necessary to add that the name has no linguistic connexion with the Hebrew name Noah, to which it also presents no parallel in meaning. Cf. Cun. Texts in the Brit. Mus., Pt. The name in the Sumerian Version is read by Dr. Poebel as Ziugiddu, but there is much in favour of Prof. Zimmern's suggestion, based on the form Zisuda, that the third syllable of the name should be read as su.
One was that Marguerite had been quite correct with her information about the free women who found it profitable to play the role of maidenly innocence. The other was that Dr. Zimmern's precious geography was in the hands of the artful, child-eyed hypocrite who had so cleverly beguiled me with her role of heroic virtue.
But as I acknowledged this new magnet tugging at the needle of my floundering heart, I also realized that my friendship for the lovable and courageous Zimmern reared an unassailable barrier to shut me into outer darkness. The thought proved the harbinger of the reality, for Dr. Zimmerman himself now entered. He was accompanied by Col. Hellar of the Information Staff, a man of about Zimmern's age.
