1 Corinthians 15:47 ('the first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven') joined to the twins of Genesis 25 ('In your limbs lie nations twain, rival races from their birth'): in every man the first-born is the outer man of the senses (Esau, hairy, the most external), who feeds only on what the senses dictate; the second is the inner man, one's imagination (Jacob, the supplanter), who sleeps until roused, enters any state and then brings the first man to feed on it.
