Atalanta Fugiens · Emblem XXIX
Ut Salamandra vivit igne, sic lapis.
As the salamander lives in fire, so does the stone.
Emblem XXIX
The finished stone is not destroyed by heat; it lives in it. What is fixed can bear what would dissolve the unfinished.
A question to carry
What could you now bear that would once have undone you?
