For have they not decorated the whole Universe with them, and is not the all a circle - without beginning - without end - infinite - a ring? Below them lies the Universe, - that which we call Reality - its very ground-plan is a ring - it passes from fiery nebula through system and world once more to fiery nebula, as dead, dying, and new-born worlds forever testify. "Evolution, devolution, evolution." This is the heart-beat of the Universe. And why? Because the Gods have made Time as a circular sea around which the island of Reality forever floats; or else, perchance, the river Time meanders in the same round course through the land of Reality, always passing again through the same landscape. The Gods alone know which of these two things it is. As the whole then bears the impress of this foible of the Gods, each part will bear it also, thus flashing back in myriad ways the great original plan. System, star, planet and satellite move there in ordered paths whose course marks in the trackless heavens the same shape.
