women live together, as do grown men and women. Gender is not of much import
For they do everything under the sun in the Cities under the Sun, except make love.
They love, they hate, they learn, they make, they think hard, work hard, play; they enjoy passionately and suffer desperately, they live a full and human , and they never give a thought to sex—unless, as Kergemmeg said with a perfect poker face, they are philosophers.
Their achievements, their monuments as a people, are all in the Cities under the Sun, whose towers and public buildings, as I saw in a book of drawings Kergemmeg showed me, vary from stern purity to fervent magnificence. Their books are written there, their thought and religion took form there over the centuries. Their history, their continuity as a culture, is all there.
Their continuity as living beings is what they see to in the north.
