This sounds to me like an invitation to the katabasis!

Recent work, just responding to you P-listers, convinces me
that the isomorphism of AF body to world maps the AIR onto
the erection, which is above the lake/sea/abyss: mouth, and
below the sun&moon&star: testes&buttocks&anus. I vacillate
whether HEART means mouth or genital. Count +one for mouth.
Count +one arcane AF fellow in Alfred Edward Housman.
