A sudden Sapphic terror of love would ever and anon come upon the sculptor ivhen his matured reflecting powers would insist lipon informing him of the fearful lapse from reason- ableness that lay in this infatuation. It threw him into a sweat. What if now, at last, he were doomed to do penance for his past emo- tional wan...derings (in a material sense) by being chained irt fatal fidelity to an object that his intellect despised ?
