educate them into proud women
:20:04
who might walk freely
down the Karl Johan,

:20:07
with all the world knowing
that they love and have lovers.

:20:11
They would write
Boheme literature, open and frank,

:20:15
about their personal experiences.
:20:22
Despite the somewhat bleaker reality
of the Karl Johan,

:20:26
Hans Jæger is also planning to write
a highly personal account

:20:30
of his own love life,
:20:32
with a frankness hitherto unknown
in Norwegian literature.

:20:36
He urges Edvard Munch
to express himself in his work

:20:40
with the same total frankness.
:20:43
His father walked back and forth.
He kept his hands clasped.

:20:56
Hans Jæger is himself currently
:20:59
and publicly having an affair
with a married woman,

:21:03
Oda Lasson, age 24,
:21:07
a painter,
:21:09
whose husband
is a wood and ice-merchant,

:21:11
8 years her senior.
:21:25
I consider marriage
:21:27
to be based on something
which is completely impossible for me.

:21:33
One is obliged to love
another human being all one's life.

:21:41
It seems utterly absurd.
No one can order me to love

:21:47
someone I have grown to hate.
