Kergemmeg said that while they are in the south they do not miss their at all. I had to take him at his word, which was given, hard as it might be for us to imagine, simply as a statement of fact.
And as I try to tell here what he told me, it seems wrong to describe their life in the cities as celibate or chaste: for those words imply a forced or willed resistance to desire. Where there is no desire there is no resistance, no abstinence, but rather what one might call, in a radical sense of the word, innocence. Their marital life is an empty memory to them, meaningless. If a couple stays together or meets often in the south it is because they are uncommonly good friends—because they love each other. But they love their other friends too. They never live separately from other people. There is little privacy in the great apartment houses of the cities—nobody cares about it. there is communal, active, sociable, gregarious, and full of pleasures.
