Saturnine night
“Behold, in Saturn a Gold lies enclosed (…). Just so man lies now, after his fall, in a great, formless, bestial, dead likeness (…). He is like the coarse stone in Saturn (…); the outer body is a stinking cadaver, because it still lives in poison.” (Jacob Böhme, De signatura rerum)
“Therein lies the most evil poison of all (…) and an earthly treasure and an earthly God in whose hands lies the spiritual and earthly law, and who has the whole World in his hand.”
J. Isaak Hollandus, Hand der Philosophen (1667), Vienna edition, 1746.
