THE STONE
OF THE PHILOSOPHERS WHICH IS HIDDEN IN THE MOUNTAIN
OF
ABIEGNUS
"And a certain woman cast a piece of a mill stone upon Abimelech, and all to brake his skull."—Anon.
"Whosoever shall fall upon this stone shall be broken; but upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."—Anon.
"Qu'est-ce donc, en verité, que ce pierre? C'est le fondement de la philosophie absolue, c'est le suprême et inébranlable raison."—Levi.
"One day when I was all alone
I found a wondrous little stone.
It lay forgotten on the road
Far from the ways of man's abode.
When on this stone mine eyes I cast
I saw my Treasure found at last.
O stone, so red and rare and wise!
O fragment of far Paradise!"
Machen.
