...Do you understand me, Harry? These children of ours, in your world, would have been condemned to disaster -not to simple disaster, but to the specific, terrible disaster that befaals the super-knowing, the super-sensitive, the super-intelligent who are ground down, degraded and destroyed. Our childern were and are normal children. Perhaps they are the first truly normal children that this world has seen in a long time-in many thousands of years. If just once you could hear them laugh or sing, you would know how absolutely true my statement is. If only you could see how tall and strong they are, how fine of body and movement. They have a quality that I have never seen in children before.
... I suppose, dear Harry, that much about them would shock you just as it would shock most of the population of the outside world. Most of the time, they wear no clothes. Sex has always been a joy and a good thing to them, and they face it and enjoy it as naturally as we eat and drink-more naturally, for we have no gluttons in sex or food, no ulcers of the belly or the soul.
... Our children kiss and caress each other and do many things that the world has specified as shocking, nasty forbidden, dirty, obscene. But whatever they do, they do it with grace and they do it with joy, and they have no guilt nor any knowledge whatsoever of guilt. Guilt, as a word or fact is meaningless to them.
