This the nucleus — after the child is born of woman, man is born of woman,   This the bath of birth, this the merge of small and large, and the       outlet again.   Be not ashamed women, your privilege encloses the rest, and is the       exit of the rest,   You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.   The female contains all qualities and tempers them,   She is in her place and moves with perfect balance,   She is all things duly veil’d, she is both passive and active,   She is to conceive daughters as well as sons, and sons as well as daughters.
