Electra

In the center of all rests the sun. For who would place this lamp of a very beautiful temple in another or better place that this wherefrom it can illuminate everything at the same time? As a matter of fact, not unhappily do some call it the lantern; others, the mind and still others, the pilot of the world. Trismegistus calls it a visible God; Sophocles’ Electra, that which gazes upon all things. And so the sun, as if resting on a kingly throne, governs the family of stars which wheel around.
Nicolaus Copernicus
