This morning’s paper — some lady, prominent through her very prominent brother, came to defend her parish, and she was offended because someone spoke at one of the colleges, and she went up and made an attempt to slap his face, because it affected her concept of the Virgin Mary. And you look at this thing and you wonder, what on earth — a woman, prominent, associated with a very wealthy family, that she could react in this manner of violence because someone made a statement concerning the Virgin Mary from the platform of a college in our country, and she dared to become violent about it. And here is the one who is speaking, now, nothing but doubt and the forgiveness of all things, and he’s going to defend the Virgin Mary — if she only knew who the Virgin Mary really is. [The following clause is garbled in the source and rendered close to verbatim, not confidently reconstructed:] If I childres a man I am Mary and birthed the God — not muskie — if I have given birth, and don’t look outside to see where he is, I gave birth to myself. God only gives birth to himself.1127 ¶20
