V359.10-20, P364.31-365.3   Tchitcherine will reach the Kirghiz Light,
but not his birth. He is no aqyn, and his heart was never ready. He
will see It just before dawn. He will spend 12 hours then, face-up on
the desert, a prehistoric city greater than Babylon lying in stifled
mineral sleep a kilometer below his back, as the shadow of the tall
rock, rising to a point, dances west to east and Džaqyp Qulan tends
him, anxious as child and doll, and drying foam laces the necks of the
two horses. But someday, like the mountains, like the young exiled
women in their certain love, in their innocence of him, like the
morning earthquakes and the cloud-driving wind, a purge, a war, and
millions after millions of souls gone behind him, he will hardly be
able to remember It.

What's the meaning of "in their certain love" and "in their innocence of him"?
