Aristophanes and Socrates
Aristophanes asks the lovers, what do you want? And they're like, hard not to say. Aristophanes suggests maybe what they want and wouldn't it be great if they were welded back together. When they die for all eternity, even in Hades, they're with her or their half. So this desire for wholeness perhaps can't be put into words, but I think can be framed like the framing of fantasy,. Because that's essentially what it is.
