The first matter, |
|
The salt of salts, |
|
Celestial water dissolves |
|
The subtlest fluid sustains |
|
The burning of sulphur. |
|
Squaring the circle, |
|
Spirit and matter |
|
Driving the triumphal charlot, |
|
Scattering treasures for the world |
|
Blackening to become whitened, |
|
Transmutation accomplished. |
|
Squaring the circle, |
|
Zero equals two |
|
Aliquem alium intermum, quadratura circuli |
|
The blood of the lion, the eagle's tears, |
|
Result in the stone of millions of years. |
|
Squaring the circle, solve et coagula |
|
Omne superius sicut inferius |
