THE FEMININE PARADOX
"For I am the first and the last.
I am the wife and the virgin.
I am the mother and the daughter.
I am she whose wedding is great.
And I have not taken a husband...
For I am knowledge and ignorance.
I am shame and boldness.
I am shameless; I am ashamed.
I am strength and I am fear.
I am war and peace."
THE THUNDER, PERFECT MIND
(ca 1st century A.D. Gnostic poem)
