Dios Croix!
All creation, gender, chaos.
Anima Animus!
Hurry your spiritual perfection!
Namely, revisit your interior!
Left and right, the two sides of me.
All in heaven and earth and both the sexes.
Two heads, two bodies.
Two insides, two outsides.
Two breeds, two me's.
Two fronts, two backs.
I'll make the word just for the two of us!
I'll make it so that we're the only two in the world!
I'll make it so it's only the two of us!
The two,
the deux,
the two,

Translation Notes From EJ:

Seraphita
A novel by Honore de Balzac, centering around a hermaphroditic character, Seraphitus-Seraphita, who is considered the perfect form of humanity.

Dioskouri
A name that refers to Castor and Pollux, heavenly twins of Greek mythology, as a unit.

Anima, animus
Refers to the psychological theories of Carl Jung, who believed that every person had within themselves both a male spirit (animus) and a female spirit (anima).


Translation Notes From Verthandi:

Mandala
Any of various geometric designs symbolic of the universe and its powers, used in Hinduism and Buddhism to transfrom the adept through meditation. [from the American Heritage College Dictionary]

Seraphitus, Seraphita
Reference to an 1835 story by Balzac. Seraphita is a mystical androgynous being who changes sex. Seraphita wears "a formless garment which resembles equally a woman's robe and a man's mantle."

Dioskuroi
The "Sons of Zeus," or the Gemini. Depicted as males, they are Kastyr and Polydeukes (Castor and Pollux); as females, Clytemnaestra and Helen of Troy. The Dioskuroi were two sets of twins. The children hatched from two giant eggs laid by Leda, a mortal woman whom the god Zeus had raped after taking the form of a swan. Kastyr and Helen were the immortal children of Zeus, while Polydeukes and Clytemnaestra were the mortal children of Leda's husband, King Tyndareus of Sparta. Therefore, of each set of twins, male and female, only one twin was immortal.

Anima
In Jungian psychology, the feminine inner personality of men. [from the American Heritage College Dictionary]

Animus
In Jungian psychology, the masculine inner personality of women. [from the American Heritage College Dictionary]
