Atalanta Fugiens · Emblem XVII
Orbita quadruplex hoc regit ignis opus.
A fourfold orbit of fire governs this work.
Emblem XVII
The fire is not one heat but four degrees, each suited to a stage. Too much, too soon, ruins the material.
A question to carry
What degree of heat does your situation need now?
