The Atom Station
“Girl at night By the month of Thorri,* a month which does not in fact exist in towns, I had become quite convinced—and indeed much earlier than that. The symptoms all matched; all the things were going on inside me that you read about in books for women, and much more besides, I think. I dreamed about the man all night sometimes, often nightmares, and started up from sleep and had to switch on the light, and could not go to sleep again before I had promised myself to go to him and beg his forgi...veness for having shut him out on New Year’s Eve; and invite him to provide for me in whatever way he thought best.
But in the mornings, when I awoke, I felt that I did not know this man at all, much less that he concerned me at all, and that the child was mine alone. Then I also felt that, in general, men never owned children at all, but rather that the woman alone owned them as in pictures of Mary with the Child; the Invisible is the father of all children, the man’s part in it being purely fortuitous, and I understood well those primitive races that do not associate sexual intercourse with babies.MoreLess
