Fama volat.
Virgil
Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus...
soles occidere et redire possunt:
nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux,
nox est perpetua una dormienda.Gaius Valerius Catullus
History is to ascribe the American Revolution to Thomas Pain - Sat verbum sapient[i] ["a word to the wise is sufficient"].
Thomas Paine
In the Book of Hermes, "Pimander," is enunciated in distinct and unequivocal sentences, the whole trinitarian dogma accepted by the Christians. "The light is me," says Pimander, the DIVINE THOUGHT. "I am the nous or intelligence, and I am thy god, and I am far older than the human principle which escapes from the shadow. I am the germ of thought, the resplendent WORD, the SON of GOD. Think that what thus sees and hears in thee, is the Verbum of the Master, it is the Thought, which is God the Father... The celestial ocean, the AETHER, which flows from east to west, is the Breath of the Father, the life-giving Principle, the HOLY GHOST!" For they are not at all separated and their union is LIFE.
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
