Chapter XXXVI
That night the moon found the Red Mouse, and said,-- "Did I not declare aright? Over every female thing you are victorious--soon or late?" But the Red Mouse answered,-- "Nay, not so. For the soul still is closed against me; and the soul still is pure. But this men do not see, and women cannot know;--they are so blind."
