“Here is a poem” said I, “written in my 12th. year”… an impossible one for my age;

“Oh” said I, caught by the fine stratagem, “let me see. I…”
A shrink of laughter hush me to these consciousness of what had been asked me.
This is the best detection of a lie I have yet heard. The psychology of it is complex. As I told it have ever, I shall not say aught more.

Way to avoid socialism: to abolish, as far as possible, all things that make difference between man, yet so as not to hamper individual liberty. E.g nobility.
[8v]
Notice how many of the above characters poets inspirate.
This is noticeably the poetic delirium. When a coarse poet, as sometimes happens, writes fine and fun poems, he really is in a fit of a delirium of this kind.
[9r]
Caractères spéciaux du délire qui relève directement de la grande hystérie (ou hystérie-épilepsie):
✓ 1. Conscience du délire: Le malade n’est point complètement absorbé par l’objet de son délire.
_______
? 2. Analogie avec les délires toxiques (alcool, opium, etc.)
_______
? 3. Analogie avec somnambulisme. (naturel ou provoqué)
_______
✓✓ 4. Influence des émotions passées et des préoccupations du moment sur la nature des conceptions délirantes.
_______
✓ 5. Exaltation de l’intelligence. some speak better, more refinedly than they use to.
[9v]
✓ 6. Mobilité des idées.
_______
? 7. Perversion des idées et des sentiments. Revirement soudains. They curse what a minute before they adored. Young girl of best society during her delirium went to her window and provoked the younger with obscene words.
_______
? 8. Idées fixes. Relatively rare, but true, in spite of the extreme mobility, which seems to always exclude it. “L’idée fixe a sa source le plus souvent dans la croyance à la réalité d’une hallucination.” (p. 356) – Examples are quoted.
[10r]
“Les sorcières d’autrefois puisaient à cette même source la conviction inébranlable de leur commerce avec Satan”
_______
? 9. Automatisme, absence de spontanéité. Proceed from a special intellectual disorder consisting on the complete abolition of the will. Hence the suggestibility of hysteric.
✓✓✓✓✓ 10. Impulsions irrésistibles. Simulation. L’Hystérique n’est pas plus maîtresse des impulsions qui germent dans son propre esprit.” (p. 356). Not dangerous impulses (as in epilepsy): “elles consistent plutôt en une tendance anxieuse et instinctive à commettre des actes
[10v]
extravagants” (ib.) etc.
_______
Enormous tendency to simulation and feign. “simulation instinctive, besoin invétéré et incessant de mentir sans intérêt, sans objet, uniquement pour mentir, et cela non seulement en paroles, mais en actions par une sorte de mise en scène où l’imagination joue le principal rôle, enfante les péripéties les plus inconcevables et se porte, parfois, aux extrémités les plus funestes.” (Tardieu). – p. 357.
“Le talent de ces malades pour inventer des états par lesquels elles se promettent de faire sensation, ou d’exciter la pitié, touche à l’incroyable.” (Niemeyer).
[11r]
“Enfin, l’amour de la notoriété, du merveilleux, du surnaturel est porté chez les hystériques à un degré que reste au-dessus de tout ce qu’on peut imaginer et devient l’unique mobile d’actions étranges dont les motifs ne peuvent être saisis, et que demeurent des énigmes pour qui ne connaît pas la névrose dont il s’agit.” Richer – (p. 357)
_______
Sometimes suicidal impulse, rarely effects; absence originating perhaps in the desire of notoriety.
_______
11. Agitation. Parfois les accès délirants revêtent la forme d’agitation maniaque, au plus haut degré, atteint toutes les facultés à la fois.
[11v]
12. Stupeur. Mutisme. Rarer than agitation. More commonly as a depressive state following an exaltation one.
13. Illusions. Hallucinations. Les troubles sensoriaux sont des plus accusés chez les hystériques et peuvent affecter tous les sens. Two curious predominant characteristics of hysterical delirium (visoins d’animaux → especially) (couleur rouge).
[12r]
✓ 14. Erotisme. Souvent les idées érotiques ont une place importante dans le délire hystérique. Parfois faire défaut. Pas rôle exclusif que les anciennes leur attribuent.
✓ 15. Incohérence des idées. “… ce trouble psychique ne correspond point à une diminution des fonctions cérébrales, mais plutôt à une suractivité et à un désordre momentané.” (p. 358)
… “ce point capital dans l’histoire de l’hystérie, que cette névrose, dont les dehors sont si effrayants et qui paraît jeter dans les fonc-
[12v]
tions cérébrales un trouble si profond, ne conduit jamais à la démence, tandis que c’est là le terme presqu’obligé de l’altération de l’intelligence qui accompagne l’épilepsie et principalement de cette forme silencieuse caractérisée par les vertiges.” (p. 358)
_______
Richer’s book contains an excellent appendix on historical forms of hysteron-epilepsy, quakers, etc.

Analogy between delirium of Grand Hystérie and that of alcohol, absinthe, opium, hashish.

3. Erreur sur le temps et l’espace.
4. Développement de la sensibilité de l’ouïe.

Man is yet inexperienced and sentimental; and the name of degenerate and of decay that has seized on modern societies renders him still more sentimental, still more weak. Man abdicates easily from common sense and from that high form of it, reasoning. Thus we see, on the one side whole poets borne by feeling, take towards the day-dream of socialism and of anarchism, and, on the other side entire pupils hands of men hysterical by the form of hereditary thing, closing to
[16v]
ceremonial and to formal, to monarchy in all its forms. Guided by the analysis of Reason, can observe that the Republic synthetises all that Reason makes and all that nature gives, within the limits of its † unity, that alone the Republic is from far the system that causes of attaching importance to ceremonial and to the formless (in monarchy) and from the fever that comes of thinking that complex equality, fraternity and liberty (in
[17r]
socialism as in anarchism) can be obtained upon earth.
Misera conditio nostra. Swayed by feeling, {…} by authority, avoid by force, mankind seeks for dreams and for emptinesses, ridiculous these, idle those, and on these lays the murder of his happiness, his name oppress his {…} his undiscerning fears. Misera conditio nostra. This till oh that the day
[17v]
shall come. A sentiment gradually takes the 2nd plan and instead of arguments being drawn from sentiment, sentiment is drawn from argument, when the right is not felt, then reasoned of, but first suggestively seen and then felt by sentiment. May that day come soon when we shall be all more or less to alternate the evilness of nature, when to sentiment shall
[18r]
succeed reasoning, to feeling, path of disorder, †, path of useless to feeling conviction † of war, Science † the matter of Peace.

What is really the property of the state, as state?
Land is the only thing that seems so, for land is the thing that makes the nation. Socialism, to be good and scientific, can go no further than land – nationalization.
A tax on landed property is a sort of rent already. Is not rent a land location of individual liberty. Is not land of the individual that made up a steel?
No, for then † would possess land
