But if you want to find out more about that, you must ask Freud, who, no doubt, knows more about fairy tales than most of us. . ." I suppose that we may soon overhear from the nursery, "Now, Mary, stop crying, and mama'll read you some pretty stories out of the Satyricon." Incidentally, I wonder what complex...
