For the Sexes: The Gates of Paradise, copy D, object 19 (Bentley 19, Erdman 17, Keynes 17)

 

01 The Keys
02 The Catterpiller on the Leaf
03 Reminds thee of thy Mothers Grief
04 of the Gates
05 1 My Eternal Man set in Repose
06 The Female from his darkness rose
07 And She found me beneath a Tree
08 A Mandrake & in her Veil hid me
09 Serpent Reasonings us entice
10 Of Good & Evil; Virtue & Vice
11 2 Doubt Self Jealous Watry folly
12 3 Struggling thro Earths Melancholy
13   4 Naked in Air in Shame & Fear
14   5 Blind in Fire with shield & spear
15 Two Hornd Reasoning Cloven Fiction
16 In Doubt which is Self contradiction
17 A dark Hermaphrodite We stood
18 Rational Truth Root of Evil & Good
19   Round me flew the Flaming Sword
20 Round her snowy Whirlwinds roard
21 Freezing her Veil the Mundane Shell
22 6 I rent the Veil where the Dead dwell
23     When weary Man enters his Cave
24 17
