Good post. And I will act on your recommendation.

The Goethe quote however is incomprehensible to me. What “eternal female”. And how would it “draw us upward”. Us who? And upwards to what?

But then, I am perhaps an irredeemable Philistine in some matters of higher art — still puzzling how anyone ever took Wagner’s “perfect fool” schtick seriously.

Thanks.

First answer: I am not foolhardy enough to claim to understand Goethe. But ...

A slob will clean for a dame.
Reagan said women civilize men.
In Hebrew, Greek, and Latin the word for “wisdom” is feminine.

I think there’s an inkling in there.

P.S.

I think “Pizza” is feminine.
I know the Italian word for beer, birra, is feminine.

I rest my case.
