«She would sift the generations of men through her sieve, ans see if she couldn’t find one who would do.—’Go ye into the streets and by ways of Jerusalem, and see if you can find a man.’ It had been impossible to find a man in Jerusalem of the prophet, though there were thousands of male humans. But a man! C’est une autre chose!»
