Norton F. W. Hazeldine translation
A secret here I have to tell which I'll write between these lines, how one may find [28]the serpent coiled within the human spine. Deep in the Breath of the Senses its secret presence you will find, running divided, yet united, it is the breath of life divine. It brings to name and form all thought, and though these change and pass from sight, it ever here remains to bring that wisdom of the gods to men.
