3. “There is much that is immortal in this medieval lady. The dragons have gone, and so have the knights, but still she lingers in our midst.

Men, declaring that she inspires them to it, move joyfully over the surface, having the most delightful meetings with other men, happy, not because they are masculine, but because they are alive.
