"And he, my intellect"
Love this. Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies that all or most humans possess in some proportion and and which are unfortnatuelly named due to gender constructs that confuse the issues. Rebecca Romanelli once wrote an essay about the sacred marriage of these energies in any person being the precursor to happiness and the ability to have a great relationship with a life partner. https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/marry-yourself-before-committing-to-another-1505830a7891?source=post_page-----7582ce0bad14--------------------------------
I discuss these concepts in the portion of my essay, https://thetaoist.online/hermann-hesse-alan-arkin-and-marcus-meet-in-a-bar-to-discuss-philosophy-with-marcus-7582ce0bad14, that discusses my favorite book by my favorite author, Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse.
Thank you for the submission Shirley. Is this the poem that you mentioned somewhere in a comment the other day and I suggested that if you had not previously published it on Medium that we would be thrilled to house it in C&C?
