79 Cousin Anthony and I Consider what the essentials of a platonic friendship are ! Are they not that the par- ties to it shall be of different sexes, and that there shall be a considerable degree of exclusiveness about their intimacy ? Does anyone doubt that exclusiveness is essen- tial ? Intimacy cannot be intimacy unless it is more or less exclusive. We can only live one life at a time, and if we share a good part of that with any one person, there is so much the less for the rest. If a frie
...ndship is not intimate enough to be noticeably exclusive, does anyone ever find it necessary to explain that it is pla- tonic ?
Love between women and men was not invented for the entertainment of philoso- phers, but largely for domestic purposes; and if platonic love is to have anything better than a hazardous and unstable exist- ence, the conditions of it must be such that it may prosper without conflict with Nature's more important ends. Thus we see why platonic friendships between young people who might marry do not endure.
