+====== Refusal of the Call ======
+"The literature of psychoanalysis abounds in examples of such
+desperate fixations. What they represent is an impotence to put
+off the infantile ego, with its sphere of emotional relationships
+and ideals" (Campbell 57)
+"Willed introversion, in fact, is one of the classic implements of
+creative genius and can be employed as a deliberate device. It
+drives the psychic energies into depth and activates the lost con
+tinent of unconscious infantile and archetypal images. The result,
+of course; may be a disintegration of consciousness more or less
+complete (neurosis, psychosis: the plight of spellbound Daphne);
+but on the other hand, if the personality is able to absorb and
+integrate the new forces, there will be experienced an almost
+super-human degree of self-consciousness and masterful control" (59)
