Does the minute grow into the huge?
Does the acorn contain the microcosm
of an oak? Or does the SHELL contain
just the idea of a great oak tree?
The male seed flows and penetrates
the female egg, which then grows and
uncovers a soul. What is that soul?
A thing so vulnerable that it dare
not whisper its own name. Tall and
strong stands the grown man, and from
his eyes blazes that which he does
not know. For what is a man?
