The Sexual Significance of Ancient Chemical Symbols

“When fire and water, earth and air

In love's true bond united are,

For all diseases then be sure

You have a safe and certain cure.

I will affirm it's here alone

Exists the Philosophic Stone.

This is fair nature's virgin root;

Thrice blest are they who reap the fruit.

But oh! where one true adept's found,

Ten thousand, thousand cheats abound. “
