"I am no Woman," replied the small Line: "I am the Monarch of the world. But thou, whence intrudest thou into my realm of Lineland?" Receiving this abrupt reply, I begged pardon if I had in any way startled or molested his Royal Highness; and describing myself as a stranger I besought the King to give me some account of his dominions.
On the simple ground of the enfeebling of the male intellect, I rest this humble appeal to the highest Authorities to reconsider the regulations of Female education. "O brave new worlds, That have such people in them!" SECTION 13 How I had a Vision of Lineland It was the last day but one of the 1999th year of our era, and the first day of the Long Vacation.
But, just as there WAS the realm of Flatland, though that poor puny Lineland Monarch could neither turn to left nor right to discern it, and just as there WAS close at hand, and touching my frame, the land of Three Dimensions, though I, blind senseless wretch, had no power to touch it, no eye in my interior to discern it, so of a surety there is a Fourth Dimension, which my Lord perceives with the inner eye of thought.
Behold me I am a Line, the longest in Lineland, over six inches of Space " "Of Length," I ventured to suggest. "Fool," said he, "Space is Length. Interrupt me again, and I have done."
There comes a day at last when, while the wonted Marriage Chorus goes forth from universal Lineland, the three far-off Lovers suddenly find themselves in exact harmony, and, before they are aware, the wedded Triplet is rapt vocally into a duplicate embrace; and Nature rejoices over one more marriage and over three more births." SECTION 14 How I vainly tried to explain the nature of Flatland
The marriage in that instance consummated results in a threefold Male and Female offspring which takes its place in Lineland." "What! Always threefold?" said I. "Must one wife then always have twins?" "Bass-voice Monstrosity! yes," replied the King. "How else could the balance of the Sexes be maintained, if two girls were not born for every boy? Would you ignore the very Alphabet of Nature?"
