Ouroboros or the Mechanical Extension of Mankind - Digital Book
|
|
"Ouroboros was a fabulous snake, the
encircling serpent, that swallowed its own
tail. It represented an infantile thought
of the human mind for wish fulfillment by
magical means. Man's heroic business
was to conquer the reptile. As he did this
he seized the object he most desired. He
might even wish himself into solid gold."
