《Numbers: Their Occult Power and Mystic Virtue》數字的神秘象徵 (Occult Power of Numbers)William Wynn Westcott (1890)
The Tetrad. 4, The Pythagoreans, said Nicomachus, call the number four " the greatest miracle," " a God after another manner," " a manifold divinity," the " fountain of Nature," and its " key bearer." It is the " introducer and cause of the permanency of the Mathematical discipline." It is "most masculine" and "robust;" it is Hercules, and ^olus.
