"At the centre of all things resides the sun. Could we find a better place in this most beautiful of all temples, from whence this light illuminates all things at once? Rightly it is called the lamp, the spirit, the ruler of the universe. For Hermes Trismegistus, it is the invisible god, Sophocles' Elecktra calls it the all-seeing. Thus, the sun sits on its royal throne and guides its children, which circle it."
---Copernicus
