"Ig jealousy a necessary part and friendly ally of love?"
"By all means: true Love does not exist if there be no jealousy. Love is a desire for possession: possession is the right of ownership: and ownership is exclusive.
love is founded on the physical differences of sex, we should go for a clear illustration of jealousy back; to primitive man, or better still,! farther back to the. monogamons} beasts of the field, where the factors of sex are most potent, least inhibited by the extraneous factors of mind. There we sec jealousy in all its fire, guarding the object of love to the point of death. Love without jealousy would be insipid, the frail sentiment of a weakling rather than the stalwart passion of a hero."
You smile, wonder at the doubtful compliment of being likened to a beast, but inwardly register the resolve to rekindle the smouldering, primitive fire.
