But greater harmony and more naturalness is found between individuals of opposite sexes; and the reason for this lies in their contrast. Though of the same element, they are counterbalancing aspects of it; and each sex clearly perceives that one provides the other with what that other lacks. Each draws out something in the other than would otherwise be lost, and makes alive some part of the other that would otherwise lie as dead. Each sex draws from the other thoughtfulness and consideration, the thinking nature. It is through this contrast that the loving nature in man or woman is awakened, so that the heart which was a grave of love becomes a fertile soil, where any seedling of affection will flourish, and bear flower and fruit.
