Splendor solace
Day after night
dark under light
And with delight is purified
For even charcoal is like diamond Only one is in alignment
And alignment is alignment So be still-centered and with intent
The stone is whole and ever complete
Out of nowhere,
there now and here
The one in all is thus reborn
The all-in-one has thus begun
It
is true.
Most certain and oh so true
That which is above is like that which is below
And that which is below is like that which
is above To accomplish the miracle of one
For all things came from one by mediation
of the one So all must thus continue from
the one by adaptation of the one
Its father is the sun,
its mother is the moon
The wind thus brings it here,
the earth nurses it in her womb
The whole will of the whole world is right
here And is made complete when turned to earth
You will separate the fire from the earth,
the subtle from the firm, gently,
and with
great care Ascending from earth unto the heaven,
and from heaven return to earth,
therefore
combining the above and the below So,
you will know
the glory of the whole wide
world And from you all darkness will surely go
This is the force of all forces,
for it has won over the subtle,
and it will win within
the firm And so the world was thus created,
and from
it countless many forms
So I am also the thrice greatest,
owning the
three-part philosophy of one
This is all I have to say about the operations
of the sun
And I am the son of the sun
