The man felt his hair flutter and the tissues of his body draw tight as if he were standing at the center of a vacuum. His wife, before him, seemed almost to whirl away in smoke. The children, small seeds, might at any instant be sown to all the Martian climes. idk what this means pls help

Answer:

Moments before conception

Step-by-step explanation:

These few lines suggest that a man and a woman are involved in activities that will lead to conception. These are the moments just prior to conception that the man, woman and potential children are experiencing. The man is describing the event from his point of view. His experience describes the moment the seed leaves his body. He also describes his wife's reaction during event. The small seeds referred to the gametes from himself and his wife that may or may not meet up for a fertilisation event.
