  still think that v "is" the feminine aspect of the divine. on the personal 
  level stencil's search might be described in terms of an obsessive 
  anima-relation. regarding history and society, he has to find out that 
  the cultural creativity which was enabled through the grace of the virgin, has 
  become completely overlayered by the yoyo-dynamics of modern technology and 
  the corresponding polit-economical growth of complexity. in this context, the 
  feminine aspect of the divine can only endlessly appear in a setting of 
  sterile artificial sentiment. especially in america. look what i've found in 
  chapter 25 of "the education of henry adams" [1918]: "the force of the virgin 
  was still felt at lourdes, and seemed to be as potent as x-rays; but in 
  america neither venus nor virgin ever had value as force; - at most as 
  sentiment. no american had ever been truly afraid of either". (for the quote's 
  context check out "www.bartleby.com/159/25html"). the world is deep & deeper 
  than the day has ever thought ...
