I.

In recapturing the intentions on which the constitution of this universe depends, in which the Earth is represented, meditated, and encountered in the person of its Angel, we discover that it is much less a matter of answering questions concerning essences (“what is it?”) than questions concerning persons (“who is it?” or “to whom does it correspond?”) for example, who is the earth? who are the waters, the plants, the mountains? or, to whom do they correspond.

—Henry Corbin
