"As I see myself reflected in Nature,
As I see through a mist. One with inexpressible completeness,
sanity, beauty.
See the bent head, and arms folded over the breast, the
Female I see."

Everything was female to him: even himself. Nature just one great function.

"This is the nucleus—after the child is born of woman,
man is born of woman.
This is the bath of birth, the merge of small and large,
and the outlet again——"

"The Female I see——"

If I'd been one of his women, I'd have given him Female. With a flea in his ear.

Always wanting to merge himself into the womb of something or other.

"The Female I see——"

Anything, so long as he could merge himself.

Just a horror. A sort of white flux.

Post mortem effects.
