People like Harry in the world pretty much to this type belong, in particular, many artists. All of these men embody two souls, two beings, divine and diabolical, maternal and paternal blood, the capacity for happiness and the capacity for suffering is mixed up and mixed up in them as hostile and chaotic as man and wolf in Harry.
