words: ‘Think how differently things would
have turned out, if we had all had the same
education, the same mode of living; if we were all
one great society of equals;’ are they not
Sonia Kovalevsky’s own dreams, her own
words?
A friend of hers told me, after her death, that
once, when her husband had telegraphed to her
that through a successful speculation he thought
he had made a colossal fortune, she immediately
laid the plan of founding a phalanstère.
A Danish author says, in speaking of ‘Struggle
for Happiness’: ‘I confess that I love this
remarkable drama, which proves the
omnipotence of love with mathematical stringency;
that love, and love alone, is the essence of life,
makes for strength and growth, and even enables
us to do our duty.’
On reading these lines, I only regretted that
they were spoken too late to give Sonia the joy
it would have been to her to find herself so well
understood.
The re-moulding of our work took much more
time than the first writing. It was not finished,
even, when we parted for the summer.
