“He tried to think what to do, but when he shut his eyes to think he saw a dark tower, surrounded by goblin armies, saw war, men and goblins, a queen against a queen, not knowing how he knew that. He saw the great mirror cracked, and all the world rippled and changed like a reflection in water. Images flitted by, true or false, or what had been or what would be, he had no comprehension. What was happening in this world and the other tumbled event over event in confusion: he saw Lady Moon, in thinnest crescent, shimmering on a mountain lake. A goblin warrior stood on its dark and reedy shore, a knight whose countenance changed from fair to foul with the waxing and waning of the moon’s reflection, with never a sun between.”

“Aux trois gunas correspondent des couleurs symboliques : le blanc à sattwa, le rouge à rajas, le noir à tamas ; en vertu du rapport que nous indiquons ici, les deux premières de ces couleurs symbolisent aussi respectivement l’autorité spirituelle et le pouvoir temporel. – Il est intéressant de noter, à ce propos, que l’« oriflamme » des rois de France était rouge ; la substitution ultérieure du blanc au rouge comme couleur royale marque, en quelque sorte, l’usurpation d’un des attributs de l’autorité spirituelle.”
