Text

Michael Maier – Atalanta Fugiens (1617), Epigrama XXVII

EMBLEMA XXVII
Qui Rosarium intrare conatur Philosophicum absque clave, assimilatur homini ambulare volenti absque pedibus.

EPIGRAMA XXVII
Luxuriat Sophiae diverso flore Rosetum
Semper at est firmis janua clausa seris:
Unica cui clavis res vilis habetur in orbe,
Hac sine, tu carpes, cruribus absque viam.
Parnassi in vanum conaris ad ardua, qui vix
In plano valeas te stabilire solo.
