Sean Connery had given it to her, she told him. “Isn’t this fun?” she remarked, showing him a gold item with “007” engraved on it. She took another cigarette from her bag, swiftly followed by her own lighter. A while later, he found himself sitting on a sofa with the princess. Obligingly, he turned to a passing guest, borrowed a lighter and indulged her fastidiousness. But she stopped him: no, she said, she couldn’t abide book matches. He dug out some matches and prepared to fire up the princess. She was, however, famously royal, so when she reached into her bag, extracted a cigarette and pointed it towards Strand, he knew his (republican) duty.

These fantasy undoubtedly have their closest analogues in mythological types. The structural elements of the collective unconscious are named by Jung "archetypes" or "primordial images." They are the pictorial forms of the instincts, for the unconscious reveals itself to the conscious mind in images which, as in dreams and fantasies, initiate the process of conscious reaction and assimilation. Unlike other possible and necessary methods of inquiry which consider the development of consciousness in relation to external environmental factors, our inquiry is more concerned with the internal, psychic, and archetypal factors which determine the course of that development.
