Radiant Motherhood by Marie Carmichael Stopes

So every spirit, as it is most pure,And hath in it the more of heauenly light,So it the fairer bodie doth procureTo habit in, and it more fairely dight,With chearefull grace and amiable sight.For of the soule the bodie forme doth take:For soule is forme, and doth the bodie make.
SPENCER: An Hymne in honour of Beautie.
Every lover desires a child. Those who imagine the contrary, and maintain that love is purely selfish, know only of the lesser types of love. The supreme love of true mates always carries with it the yearning to perpetuate the exquisite quality of its own being, and to record, through the glory of its mutual creation, other lives yet more beautiful and perfect.
