I really
can't agree. And anyhow, you can't suddenly fly off on to a new planet,
because you think you can see to the end of this.'
Ursula suddenly straightened herself.
'Yes,' she said. 'Yes--one knows. One has no more connections here. One
has a sort of other self, that belongs to a new planet, not to this.
You've got to hop off.'
Gudrun reflected for a few moments. Then a smile of ridicule, almost of
contempt, came over her face.
'And what will happen when you find yourself in space?' she cried in
derision. 'After all, the great ideas of the world are the same there.
You above everybody can't get away from the fact that love, for
instance, is the supreme thing, in space as well as on earth.'
'No,' said Ursula, 'it isn't. Love is too human and little. I believe
in something inhuman, of which love is only a little part. I believe
what we must fulfil comes out of the unknown to us, and it is something
infinitely more than love. It isn't so merely HUMAN.'
Gudrun looked at Ursula with steady, balancing eyes.
