Book excerpt: Excerpt from Symbolism of the East and West "As compressed within the bounded shell Boundless Ocean seems to surge and swell, Haunting echoes of an infinite whole Moan and murmur through Man's finite soul." - Mathilde Blind. "In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation, silence and speech acting together, some embodiment and revelation of the infinite, made to blend itself with the finite, to stand visible and, as it were, attainable there." - Thomas Carlyle. "Then knew I that he had given me the symbols of the four quarters of the earth, and of all the worlds of the universe; the stone for the North, the sword for the East, the spear for the South, and the cup for the West." - Fiona Macleod. "Our spirits have climbed high, - And from the top of sense, looked over sense To the significance and heart of things Rather than things themselves." - Elizabeth B. Browning.
