"Of all the strange and terrible powers among which we move unknowingly, sex is the most potent.
Conceived in the orgasm of life, we burst forth in agony and ecstasy from the center of creation. Time and again we return to that fountain, lose ourselves in the fires of being, united for a moment with the eternal force, and return renewed and refreshed as from a miraculous sacrament. Then, at the last, our life closes in the orgasm of death.
Sex, typified as love, is at the heart of every mystery, at the center of every secret. It is the splendid and subtle serpent that twines about the cross, and coils in the core of the mystic rose."
