"The spherical vortex,

spiralling through its own

centre is perpetually turning

in on itself, expanding and contracting,

and has an interchangeable centre and

circumference, it combines the inward

and outward direction of movement and

has neither beginning or end- it is the stable

form of flow created in water and air."Jill Purce, The Mystic Spiral

" I can remember Robartes saying, in one of his paradoxical figurative moods, that he pictured reality as a great egg laid by the Phoenix, and that this egg turns inside out perpetually without breaking its shell" W.B. Yeats. A Vision (quoted in The Mystic Spiral).   "The nature of infinity is this: That everything has its Own vortex, and when once a traveller thro' Eternity Has pass'd that Vortex, he perceives it roll backward behind His path, into a globe itself unfolding like a sun... Thus is the heaven a vortex pass'd already, and the earth A vortex not yet pass'd by the traveller thro' Eternity" William Blake.
