Lurk to surprise her, and what a serpent she becomes! She is not to be aware that you are watching her.

You have to review her acts, observe her methods.

Always be above her; then by-and-by you catch her hesitating at cross-roads; then she is bare: you catch her bewailing or exulting; then she can no longer pretend she is other than she seems.

I make self the feminine, for she is the weaker, and the soul has to purify and raise her.

On that point my Professor and I disagree.
