More From James Madison

The proposed constitution, therefore, even when tested by the rules laid down by its antagonists, is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both. in its foundation it is federal, not national; in the sources from which the ordinary powers of the government are drawn, it is partly federal, and partly national; in the operation of these powers, it is national, not federal; in the extent of them again, it is federal, not national; and finally, in the authoritative mode of introducing amendments, it is neither wholly federal, nor wholly national.

The truly monumental can only come about by means of the most exact and refined relation between parts. since each thing carries both a meaning of its own and an associated meaning in relation to something else - its essential value is relative. we speak of the mood we experience when looking at a landscape. this mood results from the relation of certain things rather than from their separate actualities. this is because objects do not in themselves possess the total effect they give when interrelated.

Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible; it is without significance. old age is similarly a waiting room, where you go after life's over and wait for cancer or a stroke. the years before and after the menstrual years are vestigial: the only meaningful condition left to women is that of fruitfulness.
