Laurens, of course, was not merely defending Marlene: he was defending his own conception of sex and soul, a lifelong vision of woman as a beauteous, bursting form. She had entered his hands an inhibited Victorian lady and emerged a delightfully sensuous modern. She was a siren, Dawn, Night, a symbol of all nature's most mysterious forces.
