Troubled and embarrassed, yet not having the courage to repulse her caresses, I stared at Zimmern, who smiled on us with indulgence. In fact it seemed that he actually enjoyed the scene.
Thinking to make amends I went one evening to the doctor's apartment. "I was going out shortly," said Zimmern, as he greeted me. "I have a dinner engagement with Hellar on the Free Level. But I still have a little time; if it pleases you we might walk along to our library."
Our actresses are the exact counterpart of those passionate French beauties. I often study their portraits in the old galleries. They have had no Eugenics, hence they would be unchanged. Is it not so, Doctor?" "Without Eugenics, a race changes with exceeding slowness," answered Zimmern in a voice devoid of expression.
I think, perhaps, I would like to fly. "What troubles me is that I do not see how we can ever do it. We have bred and trained our race into specialization and stupidity. We wouldn't know how to go out and join this World State if they would let us." Dr. Zimmern paced the room in silence for a time.
"They mutinied and murdered their officers and then held an election " Zimmern paused and I caught his eye which seemed to say, "We have gone too far with this." "Yes, and what happened?" queried the Countess. "They all voted for themselves as Colonel," replied the Doctor drily. At this I looked for an outburst of indignation from the orthodox Admiral, but instead he seemed greatly elated.
I resented the fact that a girl like Marguerite could be bound to a man three times her age, and yet seem to accept it with perfect grace. But I resented most of all the fact that both she and Zimmern appeared to invite me to share in a triangle of love, open and unashamed.
This is evidenced not only by the poetic diction, but by its metrical form, a point to which Budge was the first to direct attention and which Zimmern clearly established. Each line consists of two divisions, and as a general thing four or eight lines constitute a stanza. The principle of parallelism, so characteristic of Biblical poetry, is also introduced, though not consistently carried out.
"Gutenberg invented the printing press," explained Zimmern, fearing I might not comprehend. "Yes," said Hellar with a curling lip, "and Gutenberg was a German, and so am I. He printed a Bible which he believed, and I wrote one which I do not believe."
Classical Myths; Guerber, Myths of Northern Lands; Haaren and Poland, Famous Men of the Middle Ages; Mary E. Litchfield, The Nine Worlds; H.W. Mabie, Norse Stories; Eva March Tappan, European Hero Stories; Alice Zimmern, Gods and Heroes of the North.
So why should I not tire of their shallow trifling? I find among the girls of the Free Level more honest love, for they, as I, have no hope. They love but for the passing hour, and pass on as I pass on, I to death, they to decaying beauty and an old age of servile slavery." Surely, I exulted, here is the rebellious and daring soul that Zimmern and Hellar have sought in vain.
