Hymnes à la Nuit
Mais l’onde de cristal, — les sens vulgaires ne la perçoivent pas, — l’onde qui prend sa source au cœur du tertre ténébreux, celui qui l’a goûtée, — celui qui l’a gravi, ce haut lieu au pied duquel vient se briser le flot temporel, celui qui, se dressant sur ces sommets aux frontières du monde, a plongé ses regards dans la patrie nouvelle, dans le domaine de la Nuit, — en vérité, celui-là ne redescend plus aux tumultes du monde, dans la patrie où la lumière habite, en sa perpétuelle agitation.

From the very first, attempts were made to unite them, as everything about them indicated relationship; but every attempt failed; the one or the other Science still suffered in these attempts, and lost its essential character. We had to abide by metaphysical Logic, and logical Metaphysic, but neither of them was as it should be.

“Someone arrived there — who lifted the veil of the goddess, at Sais.”
But what did he see? He saw — wonder of wonders — himself.
Novalis here alludes to Plutarch's account of the shrine of the goddess Minerva, identified with Isis, at Sais, which he reports had the inscription "I am all that hath been, and is, and shall be; and my veil no mortal has hitherto raised."
