WIND ...::Truth::...

The Outsider's case against society is very clear. All men and woman have these dangerous, unnamable impulses, yet they keep up a pretence, to themselves, to others; their respectability, their philosophy, their religion, are all attempts to gloss over, to make look civilized and rational something that is savage, unorganized, irrational. He is an Outsider because he stands for Truth.
This is his case. But it is weakened by his obvious abnormality, his introversion. It looks, in fact, like an attempt at self-justification by a man who knows himself to be degenerate, diseased, self-divided. There is certainly self-division. The man who watches a woman undressing has the red eyes of an ape; yet the man who see two young lovers, really alone for the first time, who brings out all the pathos, the tenderness and uncertainty when he tells about to be fulfilled, he disappears and is succeded by the man, who is disgusted with the ape's appetites.
