Jane Wolfe Diary Entry

Thursday, 14 September 1922

 

     

 

 

 

Two soldiers called, inquiring when A.C. would be back.

 

For the first time in my life I am feeling contempt for humanity. I have often wondered how one who Understood, who had the Light, could feel contempt, if all is in God and of God.

 

Just spoke to Ninette [Ninette Shumway] about this ‘contempt’. She says “for the individual”, So I will add “for the stupidity of the individual”, and eliminate ‘humanity’.

 

I think there is something back of the London silence. Anyhow, I shall cease worrying about Lea [Leah Hirsig]. Stupid to do so, in any case; but A.C. does not speak lightly, and he said he was unhappy about Lea’s health, and that she had “given her life to the Work”.
