is dead and now the man in him also threatens to die. It recalls the admission of impotence, described with such tremendous realism in the great Rita-Almers scene. The man in him dies and the woman in him persists with yearnings. A more detailed treatment of these endopsychic processes will be found in my book on _Masochism_ (Translation by _Van Teslaar_, in preparation). Footnote 11: The following passage, from an observation by _Hirschfeld_, shows how early such fixation on the brother may take place, only to disappear, apparently, and to be mistaken for inborn homosexuality: “I hated boys and boyish games; my sister was my _alter ego_, while my brother, who was 13 years older and a very beautiful man, had powerfully charmed my childish, pure and innocent heart. I worshipped him for his physical beauty even more than on account of his sterling qualities. At the same time I grew continuously more sensitive in my overt attitude towards him. I remember clearly that during the 6th or 7th year my brother’s physical beauty caused me to shake before him with every fiber of my body in admiration as before some mystery revealed. At 10 years of age I wept through a whole night intoxicated with joy because it fell to my lot to lie down near his intoxicatingly sweet presence for rest. I had a feeling of shame such as I did not experience in the presence of my mother or sister. Clearly and deliberately, although unbeknown, of course, to him, I deified my brother from the 10th to the 15th year, and this worshipful attitude reached its highest from my 10th to the 12th year, when he married. I was disconsolately unhappy over it because that event removed him from our midst and I felt it was dreadful that he should lose his virgin beauty, as I thought.” (_Hirschfeld_, _loc. cit._, p. 46.) Footnote 12: _Zuchtbarkeit der Homosexualität._ _Sexualprobleme_, 6 Jahrg., 1910, No. 12. Footnote 13: This thought is very wonderfully expressed in _Gerhart Hauptmann’s Griseldis_. The father is jealous of the son because he, in turn, had been his father’s enemy and rival....

Footnote 15: With his wonderful psychologic mastery _Arthur Schnitzler_ has described such a pair in his best piece entitled, “_Das weite Land_.” Hofrichter, the manufacturer, who flutters from one love affair to another, and his wife, who consoles herself in the arms of a young Cadet, are the kind of a pair who love each other but go down in ruin rather than openly acknowledge their love.
