Through all this or­deal his root hor­ror had been isol­a­tion, and there are no words to ex­press the abyss between isol­a­tion and hav­ing one ally. It may be con­ceded to the math­em­aticians that four is twice two. But two is not twice one; two is two thou­sand times one. That is why, in spite of a hun­dred dis­ad­vant­ages, the world will al­ways re­turn to mono­gamy.
