In Amiens the north tower is taller than the south, and more ...massive in its upper stages. The only traceable indication of sex in the orna- mentation occurs in the spandrels at the sides of the entrance arches: those of the north tower containing single circles, and those of the south tower containing two in one. This difference, small as it may seem, is significant, for in Europe during the Middle Ages, just as anciently in Egypt and again in Greece — in fact wher- ever and whenever the Secret Doctrine was known — sex was at- tributed to numbers, odd numbers being conceived of as mascu- line, and even, as feminine.
