Somewhere in a footnote Jung quotes one of the Medieval alchemists --
might have been Paracelsus or Michael Maier -- with the phrase I use
in my signature below "one book opens another." It is difficult for me
to imagine that P never noticed that quote. Surely, though, the realm
of the possible is quite as infinite as is that of the impossible.
