“Th’ Ancient of dayes, sire of _Æternitie_, Sprung of himself, or rather nowise sprong. Father of lights, and everlasting glee Who puts to silence every daring tongue And flies mans sight, shrouding himself among His glorious rayes, good _Hattove_, from whom came All good that _Penia_ [_i.e._ want] spies in thickest throng Of most desired things, all’s from that same.” (I. 5.) “But first of all Was mighty _Hattove_, deeply covered o’re With unseen light. No might Imaginall May reach that vast profunditie.” (I. 16.) The Son is identified with the second hypostasis,—universal intellect. In this all realities are present not as created things in time or space, but embraced as essential forms with no spatial or temporal relation. This character of universal intellect is thus named αἰών, or eternity. (“Enneads,” III. vii. 4.) More thus writes of Christ— “The youthfull _Æon_, whose fair face doth shine While he his Fathers glory doth espy, Which waters his fine flowring forms with light from high. “Not that his forms increase, or that they die. For _Æοn Land_, which men _Idea_ call, Is nought but life in full serenitie, Vigour of life is root, stock, branch, and all; Nought here increaseth, nought here hath its fall; For _Æons_ kingdomes alwaies perfect stand, Birds, beasts, fields, springs, plants, men and minerall, To perfectnesse nought added be there can.” (I. 13. 14.) Psyche, or Uranore, as she is named at times, is the third person of the Trinity. She is the soul of the universe, present in every “atom ball,” in the creatures of earth, sea, air, the divine stars in heaven. (“Enneads,” V. i. 2.) In her true essence she is invisible; but More pictures her as enveloped in a fourfold garment. The outer garment is called Physis, in which all natural objects appear as spots which grow each according to its idea. This robe is stirred with every impulse of life from the central power of God. “The first of these fair films, we _Physis_ name. Nothing in nature did you ever spy But there’s pourtraid: · · · · · “And all besprinkeled with centrall spots, Dark little spots, is this hid inward veil. · · · · · “When they dispread themselves, then gins to swell Dame _Psyches_ outward vest, as th’ inward wind Softly gives forth, full softly doth it well Forth from the centrall spot; · · · · · according to the imprest Art (That Arts impression’s from _Idea Land_) So drives it forth before it every part According to true symmetry.” (I. 41–44.)
