[Footnote 47: To the same cause is probably due the use of four-poster
beds in which the sleeper is completely enclosed by curtains and of those
oldfashioned beds (still to be seen in some parts of the world) which
could be entirely shut off from the rest of the room by a wooden partition
or sliding door containing only one very small circular aperture for the
admission of air.]

[Footnote 50: _Cp._ the striking emotional effect of Böcklin's well known
picture "The Island of the Dead." In Sir J. M. Barrie's remarkable play
"Mary Rose" (which is full of interest in connection with our present
subject) this piece of symbolism is duplicated--the "island that likes to
be visited" being situated in a lake on a larger island.]

baptism from the psycho-analytical point of view, see Ernest Jones, "Die
Bedeutung des Salzes in Sitte und Brauch der Völker", _Imago_. 1912, I.

[Footnote 64: Thus in a case known to the present writer a boy frequently
indulged in phantasies of entering into the bodies of women and girls whom
he admired, the ideas of effecting an entrance into the body, of being
carried therein and of re-emerging therefrom, being all accompanied by
voluptuous feelings of a sexual character.]
[Footnote 65: A striking example of this is to be found in Sir J. M.
Barrie's "Mary Rose", in which a grown up son, on returning after many
years to the home of his childhood, is earnestly warned and entreated by
the housekeeper in charge of the (now empty) house not to enter his former
nursery (womb symbol), a small room which is approached by a short passage
(vagina symbol). He eventually overcomes his fears and boldly enters the
forbidden apartment with a lighted candle (phallic symbol) in his hand. At
that moment the ghost of his mother appears!
