Hermeticism Is The Science Of Nature Hidden In The Hieroglyphics And Symbols Of The Ancient World.

Up To One's Last Breath, One May Retain The Simple Joys Of Childhood, The Poetic Ecstasies Of The Young Person, The Enthusiasms Of Maturity. Right To The End, One May Intoxicate One's Spirit With Flowers, With Beauty And With Smiles.
