“From the point⟳ of view⟳ of thought the inscription is based upon the mystic doctrine of the differing forms of fire given by Mr. Pater in his study⟳ of ‘ Pico della Mirandola,’ and resumed in the formula, ‘the elemental burns, the heavenly vivifies, ‘ the supercelestial loves.’ In the pictures, where the first is merely of the nature of a prologue, each fire—the fire of passion consuming, the fire of life vitalising, the fire of love⟳ adoring—is portrayed in operation and effect. As a chronicle of events the series is no less complete⟳.”
““So that all things are full of divine natures; terrestrial natures receiving the plenitude of such as are celestial, but celestial of supercelestial essences; while every order⟳ of things proceeds gradually, in a beautiful descent, from the highest to the lowest. For whatever particulars are collected into one above the order⟳ of things, are afterwards dilated in descending, various souls being distributed under their various ruling divinities.””
