A Lady at Your Service

Description

I asked, “Did you propose to her?” He replied in surprise, “How do you know?” I said, “Do you think you proposed because you love her?” He said, “Of course.” I said, looking him firmly in the eye, “Never. You proposed because you want to possess her. Your problem is one of possession, not love. What torments you is her independence—your feeling that you cannot subdue and destroy her. She is stronger than you. If you married her and possessed her, you would be cured of what you call love!”
