Atalanta Fugiens · 1618 · Emblem XLVI
Aquilae duae, una ab ortu, altera ab occasu, conveniunt.
Two eagles, one from the east and the other from the west, come together.
Opposite directions, one meeting place. The volatile from both ends converges.
What is coming toward you from two opposite directions?
