“Know the difference between the false dawn and the true, distinguish the colour of the wine from the colour of the cup, that, perchance, from the eyes which see the seven colours, patience and waiting may produce a spiritual eye, with which you may behold colours other than these, and may behold pearls instead of stones. What pearl? Nay, you will become an ocean, you will become a sun traversing the sky.”
