Encircled thus) did oft expression make
Of Annual-Revolutions; and of things,
Which wheele about in everlasting-rings;
There ending, where they first of all begun . . .
These Roundells, help to shew the Mystery
of that immense and blest Eternitie,
From whence the CREATURE sprung, and into whom
It shall again, with full perfection come . . .
I love this image and metaphor, eternity, must be devoured but then created again. Plus it's a symbol found all over the world for a thousand years. From alchemy to the mayan, to roman empires to mesopotamia. I will be making some serpent jewelry from this inspiration!
