Against the Day. Merle & Dally.

[Mark Kohut]

“They lived for different futures , but they were each other’s  unrecognized halves,and what fascination between them did come to pass was lit up, beyond question, with grace.” p. 70.

A characterization of a relationship that is the recognition of "unrecognized halves" can remind of Plato's myth of love, am I right? A use here 
that is, of course, not about adults finding their soulmates ( and lovemaking partners) but the father recognizing that other half in his daughter,--love as fascination with a half-similar other--very humanly observant and interesting, yes? 

And it ends with that so important AtD concept, here pure and clear, it seems, any "ambiguity" only in its contrast with the usual religious meanings?
