CHAPTER XV
10/23

One of them is a picture of 'Chaos' before the creation of the world.

Half-formed men and women struggle from the earth to force themselves into life, as the half-wrought statues of Michelangelo from the marble that confines them.

Near by is a picture of the 'All-pervading,' the spirit of good that penetrates the world, symbolized as a woman gazing long into a globe held upon her knee.

Opposite is the 'Dweller in the Innermost,' with deep, unsearchable eyes.

These are pictures that constrain thought rather than charm the eye.
