For true it is that the one bright male germ which went to your begetting was drawn from the blood of the father.

And true it is that that same bright male germ lies unquenched and unquenchable at the center of you, within the famous solar plexus.
And furthermore true is it that this unquenched father-spark within you sends forth vibrations and dark currents of vital activity all the time; connecting direct with your father.

You will never be able to get away from it while you live.
The connection with the mother may be more obvious.

Is there not your ostensible navel, where the rupture between you and her took place?
But because the mother-child relation is more plausible and flagrant, is that any reason for supposing it deeper, more vital, more intrinsic?
Not a bit.

Because if the large parent mother-germ still lives and acts vividly and mysteriously in the great fused nucleus of your solar plexus, does the smaller, brilliant male-spark that derived from your father act any less vividly?
By no means.
