Relationship With De Cleyre
When Lum met Voltairine de Cleyre, he was twenty-seven years her elder and had lived a life rich in experience. They forged an "unshakable" friendship, and Lum had a profound influence on Voltairine de Cleyre's political development, which evolved in an opposite direction to his; she started out as an orthodox Tuckerite individualist, became increasingly involved with the radical labor movement and ultimately called for a panarchist "anarchism without adjectives". Their relationship ended after five years of intense involvement, leaving their planned collaborative project — a lengthy social and philosophical anarchist novel — ultimately unpublished.

“We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.”
—Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945)
“It was a real treat when he’d read me Daisy Miller out loud. But we’d reached the point in our relationship when, in a straight choice between him and Henry James, I’d have taken Henry James any day even if Henry James were dead and not much of a one for the girls when living, either.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
