11. Those two (persons in the eyes) descend to the cavity of the heart, and enter into union with each other; and when they reach the end of their union, then the man sleeps,—even as here on reaching the end of a human union he becomes, as it were, insensible, so does he then become, as it were, insensible; for this is a divine union, and that is the highest bliss.
