And passion is the further separating of this mixture, that which is manly being taken into the being of the man, that which is womanly passing to the woman, till the two are clear and whole as angels, the admixture of sex in the highest sense surpassed, leaving two single beings constellated together like two stars.
In the old age, before sex was, we were mixed, each one a mixture.

The process of singling into individuality resulted into the great polarisation of sex.

The womanly drew to one side, the manly to the other.

But the separation was imperfect even them.

And so our world-cycle passes.
