tremely complex, sensitive, tender, sympathetic and loving—and, as has been said, "full of storm and stress, of ferment and fluctuation of the heart."
While the logical faculty may or may not, in their case, be well developed, intuition is always strongly in evidence. Like a woman they read characters at a glance, and know, without knowing how, what is transpiring in the mental processes of others. Naturally, men of this kind have a peculiar aptitude for nursing and administering to the needs of people. A Swiss writer on this subject has expressed himself thus: "Happy, indeed, is that man who has won a real Urning for his friend—he walks on roses, without ever having to fear the thorns." And he added: "Can there ever be a more perfect sick nurse than an Urning?"
The invert has a strongly developed artist nature, with the artist's perception and sensibility. De Joux, who writes on the whole favorably of the Uranian men and women, says of the former: "They are enthusiastic for poetry and music, are often eminently skilful in the fine arts, and are overcome with emotion and sympathy at the least occurrence. Their sensitiveness, their endless tenderness for children, their love of flowers, their great pity for beggars and crippled folk are truly womanly." In another passage, he indicates the organic base of the artist nature in the following words: "The nerve system of many an Urning is the finest and the most complicated musical instrument in the service of the interior personality that can be imagined."
