The curtain lifts and shows another curtain covered with representations of all kinds of birds and beasts and fish, with the images of stellar constellations. An old man comes from the side. He is dressed like a peasant and bowed with age and toil. He holds a large globe of crystal. Lifting it above his head he speaks: Look children of a day upon this globe. In it you will see the woods and the hills and the heavens and the face of the deep and all other things reflected as your own faces are to others, but set apart that you may gaze and wonder . . . He who looks long shall see it cloud, and then shall the clouds break and the woods and the hills and the heavens and the face of the deep and the face of man shall be seen there again, but transformed by the light of the interior spirit . . . Behind all life burns the archetypal life, and to the archetypes do all things return, knocking again and again at the windy doors.
-- W. B. Yeats, Shadowy Waters
