Page 236 - WHEN our two souls stand up erect and strong, Face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher, Until the lengthening wings break into fire At either curved point, — what bitter wrong Can the earth do to us, that we should not long Be here contented ? Think ! In mounting higher, The angels would press on us and aspire To drop some golden orb of perfect song Into our deep, dear silence. Let us stay Rather on earth, Beloved, — where the unfit Contrarious moods of men recoil away And isolate pure spirits,...
Page 184 - ... subconscious incubation and maturing of motives deposited by the experiences of life. When ripe, the results hatch out, or burst into flower.
Page 230 - Every time that we treat a neurotic psychoanalytically, there occurs in him the so-called phenomenon of transfer (Uebertragung), that is, he applies to the person of the physician a great amount of tender emotion, often mixed with enmity, which has no foundation in any real relation, and must be derived in every respect from the old wish-fancies of the patient which have become unconscious. Every fragment of his emotive life, which can no longer be called back into memory, is accordingly lived over...

Page 164 - she struggled to get through the crowd." From the associated memories this would seem to symbolize a thought which has run a great deal through her mental life; namely, that of her "great struggle to overcome herself, and get somewhere," that is, achieve the end in view. In the dream she struggles, but only to be disappointed in the end. The analysis of this scene would carry us too far into the intimacy of her life to justify our entering upon it.
Page 235 - This electivity is truly remarkable; it recalls Bernard Shaw's epigram, that " Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and all the rest.
Page 145 - It should be kept in mind that the waking personality C and the hypnotic state c do not remember the dreams, or only imperfectly, and therefore the accounts of the dream were always obtained from the hypnotic state b, who remembers them with extraordinary precision and vividness, and in great detail. After the dream was recovered in state b, it was read to the subject when awake and alert (C) . This sufficed, of course, to give the information to the hypnotic state c. (Alpha had its own source of...
Page 220 - We can no longer regard the subject as a helpless automaton in the hands of a strong-willed operator; it is nearer the truth to regard the operator as allowing himself to play a part, and by no means an indispensable one, in a drama constructed and acted in the depths of the subject's mind.
Page 173 - ... ihrem absoluten Unvermögen, ihm oder irgend jemanden zu helfen oder ihre eigenen Lebensverhältnisse zu ändern. Schließlich folgen endlich die vorausgesehenen Konsequenzen dieser Erwartung. Sie wird blind und insofern ist der Traum die Erfüllung einer Befürchtung." Der Autor sagt abschließend: „In this dream, as in the others, we find no ,unacceptable...
Page 327 - It is difficult to place the beginning of my abnormal fear.

My early religious thought was chiefly concerned with the direful eternity of torture that might be awaiting me if I was not good enough to be saved.
