Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Philosophy of the Hermetics
Nature has a way of concealing and revealing. She tells half her story out in the sunshine in a loud voice, and the other half in whispers underground.
She is coy like a coquette, and stern like a judge. She excites curiosity in the student, and dread in the debauchee.
She holds the man of science to her breast, but is dumb to the lover of pleasure. She scorns the victim of priestcraft and repudiates the supernatural. The Sage takes his cue from his mother; like Nature, he conceals and reveals.
