《Numbers: Their Occult Power and Mystic Virtue》數字的神秘象徵 (Occult Power of Numbers)William Wynn Westcott (1890)
The Pentad, 5. From the Nicomachean Extracts we derive our knowledge of the Pythagorean doctrine of the number five. It is an eminently spherical and circular number because in every multiplication, it restores itself and is found terminating the number ; it is change of Quality, because it changes what has three dimensions into the sameness of a sphere by moving circularly and producing light : and hence " Light " is referred to the number 5.
