On June 13, 1910, Arthur James Balfour lectured the House of Commons on “the problems with
which we have to deal in Egypt.
I cannot leave the question of dream displacement without the
consideration of a remarkable process in the formation of dreams in
which condensation and displacement work

And here I

though I have, in compliance with the ideas of
others, occasionally marked in the ''KEY" a tri-

poses the 'catastrophe of modernity' which should be thought of as a shift from the form of stability existing in traditional hierarchical-central ist society to the form of stability found in our modern, differentiated, multifocal society.
Thus the rhetoric dealing with ''wage slavery" contributes

" One finds
nowadays among artists and scholars plenty of
those who betray by their works that a profound
longing for nobleness impels them; but this very
