Now if the twin eyes can be captured by flesh, if they can attach themselves to the limbs of men they can hardly be the sun and the moon. They can however be the essense of Re, that which is generated by Re, that which falls to Earth in ray like beams. We see these rays illustrated capped by human hands.

Vol. 2. Hymn to the setting Sun. From the papyrus of Mut-Hetep. p80.

text : "Thou joineth thyself unto the Eye of Horus, and thou hiddeth thyself within its secret place, It bindeth its protecting amulets behind thy members."

Re's influences are inevitiably linked to the growing season or as Dylan Thomas puts it -- "The Force that through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower"

(19) "the day when the Eye (Utchat) of Re is full in Annu (Heliopolis) at the end of the second month of the season Pert (ie; the season of growing) ... I have seen the Eye of Re when it was full in Annu"
Vol.2. Chap.125.1. Introductory address to Osiris. p.362.

Dual eyes occur in nature. They can be observed in nature, in the flora that we ourselves dedicate to Re --- the SUN flowers. In fact the twin eyes of the floret head can be seen throughout the entire COMPOSITAE family of plants which include the daisies of the field.
