Walter  Scott
“Begin then, my son Tat, with a prayer to the Lord and Father, who alone is good; pray that you may find favour with him, and that one ray of him, if only one, may flash into your mind, that so you may have power to grasp in thought that mighty Being. For thought alone can see that which is hidden, inasmuch as thought itself is hidden from sight; and if even the thought which is within you is hidden from your sight, how can He, being in himself, be manifested to you through your bodily eyes? But if you have power to see with the eyes of the mind, then, my son, He will manifest himself to you. For the Lord manifests himself ungrudgingly through all the universe; and you can behold God's image with your eyes, and lay hold on it with your hands.”
Walter Scott, Hermetica: Volume 1 of 4

Peter Ackroyd
“On my stage,
numerology, geometry and astrology were all combined in one. As
the music played, a roof of stars appeared, many shining spheres
wrought within a background of the deepest blue; and upon the
same ground of artifice it seemed as if the eleven circles of the
eleven heavens revolved wonderfully with the planets and the
stars. Nothing perishes, but stands in eternity.”
Peter Ackroyd, The House of Doctor Dee
