This embryo is brought into movement, for the sun quickens it with spirit. From the other stars this embryo received only an impression, until the sun shone upon it. How did it become connected with the shining sun in the womb? By ways hidden from our senses: the way whereby gold is nourished, the way a common stone becomes a garnet and the ruby red, the way fruit is ripened, and the way courage comes to one distraught with fear.
