Yet she had remained spiritually virginal, with conventionally prim ideas of life, narrow in her sympathies, with the finest and noblest functions of her soul helpless and bound, at heart unhappy even if not clearly realising that she was unhappy.

Now she has become another person.

The new liberated forces from within have not only enabled her to become sensitive to the rich complexities of intimate personal relationship, they have enlarged and harmonised her realisation of all relationships.

Her new erotic experience has not only stimulated all her energies, but her new knowledge has quickened all her sympathies.

She feels, at the same time, more mentally alert, and she finds that she is more alive than before to the influences of nature and of art.
