.
To come to details, the stigma, or female organ, of the flower is contained in the upper lip, which forms a sort of hood, in which are also the two stamens, or male organs. To prevent these from fertilising the stigma which shares the same nuptial tent, this stigma is twice as long as they, so that they have no hope of reaching it.
Moreover, in order to avoid any accident, the flower has made itself protenandrous, that is to say, the stamens ripen before the pistil, so that, when the female i...s fit to conceive, the males have already dis- appeared. It is necessary, therefore, that an external force should intervene to accomplish the union by carrying a foreign 289 The Measure of the Hours pollen to the abandoned stigma. A cer- tain number of flowers, the anemophilous flowers, leave this care to the wind. But the Sage — and this is the more general case — ^is entomophilous, that is to say, it loves insects and relies upon their collaboration alone. Still, it is quite aware, for it knows many things, that it lives in a world where it is best to expect no sympathy, no chari- table aid.
