Courting the maiden

[Night Owl]

I guess everything being relative you could also look at the image seeing both female pulling the male's hands towards them rather than the male holding them himself. It would make more sense to me either that he chooses to let one go in the process. I can't picture the unconscious mind as being two rather than one. That's why I felt ricdaw's analogy to be perfectly fitting. When he closes his eyes, this is where he reaches for his true intuition.
