Milner 1937 : 184–5) THE OTHER IN THE SELF 33 This discovery of an ‘answering activity’, which she also describes as the ‘notself’5 (1937 : 177, 179), is the culmination of An Experiment in Leisure. Milner introduces Eternity’s Sunrise (Milner 1987a), the third volume in what amounts to a trilogy, as a repeat, 50 years on, of what she had done in An Experiment in Leisure. She wants to see what effect her years of analytic work may have had on her. It turns out to be just as personal a book, not overtly psychoanalytic but actually full of psychoanalysis, and the same themes declare themselves with notable continuity.

To speak of the analyst’s being ‘curious’ about the patient might sound too eager or intrusive, but an intense and passionate ‘willingness to know’2 should permeate the stillness and silent receptivity.

His working through of his own life experience became a foundation for the development of psychoanalysis. Freud, however, concealed much of his work on himself and it has needed such scholars as Anzieu (1986) to uncover it. An analyst who lets us watch her at it, in detail and over many years, is Marion Milner. Milner’s writing belongs to two traditions and in each one it is out of the ordinary. There is a strand in European letters which begins with St Augustine and runs through Rousseau’s Confessions and Wordsworth’s The Prelude up to, for example, Kazantzakis’ (1965) Report to Greco.
