The Book of Lies (1913)
Context: The Many is as adorable to the One as the One is to the Many.
This is the Love of These; creation-parturition is the Bliss of the One; coition-dissolution is the Bliss of the Many.
The All, thus interwoven of These, is Bliss.
Naught is beyond Bliss.

“The many fail: the one succeeds.”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson The Day-Dream
The Arrival, st. 2
The Day-Dream (1842)
Context: The bodies and the bones of those
That strove in other days to pass,
Are wither'd in the thorny close,
Or scatter'd blanching on the grass.
He gazes on the silent dead:
"They perish'd in their daring deeds."
This proverb flashes thro' his head,
"The many fail: the one succeeds."
“Many colors blend into one.”
Color est e pluribus unus.
Virgil (-70–-19 BC) Ancient Roman poet
Appendix Virgiliana, Moretum 102.
Compare: E pluribus unum ("Out of many, one"), motto on the Great Seal of the United States.
