But all must pass under the rod, even as He-who entered into materiality.

• There was a man that hated his footprints and his shadow, so one day he thought that if he ran fast enough, his footprints and shadow would not be able to follow him and then he never ever had to look at them again.

It should therefore give us a specially direct and immediate insight into science in the making.
