Poison Is In Everything, And No Thing

What The Eyes Perceive In Herbs Or Stones Or Trees Is Not Yet A Remedy; The Eyes See Only The Dross.

Although Alchemy Has Now Fallen Into Contempt, And Is Even Considered A Thing Of The Past, The Physicain Should Not Be Influenced By Such Judgements.

Poison Is In Everything, And No Thing Is Without Poison. The Dosage Makes It Either A Poison Or A Remedy.

We Do Not Know It Because We Are Fooling Away Our Time With Outward And Perishing Things, And Are Asleep In Regard To That Which Is Real Within Ourself.

This Is Alchemy, And This Is The Office Of Vulcan; He Is The Apothecary And Chemist Of The Medicine.
