Of Love Forbidden
Anna Elisabet Weirauch
This is the story of a beautiful and charming young woman, born into the twilight zone of sex. Proud and intelligent, she is yet weighted down with that strange inversion which so mercilessly plants itself in the body and spirit of many sensitive women. In a world sympathetic only to normal beings, she is forced to drift helplessly about ina futile struggle to adapt herself to a hostile society. Metta first realizes her ‘difference’ when she is irresistibly attracted to Olga Mado, a brilliant but unscrupulous woman of the world. Her association with this woman leads to a definite parting from her wealthy family. So long as Olga is alive, she finds consolation in her love. But the latter, harried by her inability to find peace in a vindictive world, finally, like the Scorpion which is her symbol in life, commits suicide. Left alone in the world, Metta goes off to a new city, where she is soon in the midst of a group of outcasts who combine artistic ability with neuroticism that finds expression in drugs, drink, and illicit love. ~ James W. Jones; An Encyclopedia of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Culture. 2002
