Overview

Excerpt from The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony Yet even as such a person would be mistaken in his estimate of Valentine the alchemist, as distinguished from Valentine the investigator of antimonial therapeutics, so it is just possible that he would be astray in his estimate of the man, being misled by a veil of simplicity which skilfully conceals the adept under the unpretending mask of a monastic canon. When I had emptied to the dregs the cup of human suffering, I was led to consider the wretchedness of this world, so Valentine tells us in his preface to The Great Stone of the Sages, and the fearful consequences of our first parents' disobedience.
