Böhme on Time and Eternity

[Image]
Jakob Böhme, an oil portrait from the mid-17th century

Wem Zeit ist wie Ewigkeit,

Und Ewigkeit ist wie Zeit,

Der ist befreit

Von allem Streit.

He to whom time is like eternity,

And eternity is like time,

Is liberated

From all conflict.

Jakob Böhme, inscription in a family album (ca. 1612)(S.H. transl.)
