And Virgil assures us that the same thing happens in nature, saying:
“Look,
I
will
utterly
disperse
the
cloud
that
now,
dimming
your
eyes,
dulls
your
mortal sight and surrounds you with a damp darkness.”
Commentarii in somnium Scipionis, Macrobio

“To you, happy prison of the retina,
Golden section, celestial quadrature,
Mysterious fountain of measure
That gives rise to the harmonious universe”…
To the Divine Proportion
