“I know not what I am; I am not what I know; A thing and not a thing: a point and a circle.” “When God lay hidden in a young virgin’s womb, Then it was that the point contained the circle within itself. You say: The great cannot be contained within the small; Heaven cannot be enclosed within the little earth. Come, look upon the Virgin’s Child: There in the cradle you will see Heaven and earth, and a hundred worlds.” Angelus Silesius, The Cherubinic Wanderer
