Its opposite is overhead, where nothing else comes forth but that which almost crazes man-like erotic love, when it drives young men into wantonness - and which results in the kind of things that appeared in the foolhardy one spoken of previously [3135-3141, 3149-3150], who in his adolescence was so far gone that no one was ever more insane-a case of the absolute limit of insanity breaking out in that sort of behavior in ultimate carnal extremes.
