“Silver and gold", …, "have I none; but such as I have give I thee" freely, and
that is the knowledge that the goldness of gold,
the silverness of silver, the manhood of man,
the womanhood of woman,
the reality of everything is the Lord -- and
that this Lord we are trying to realise from time without beginning in the objective, and in the attempt throwing up such "queer" creatures of our fancy as man, woman, child, body, mind, the earth, sun, moon, stars, the world, love, hate, property, wealth, etc.; also ghosts, devils, angels and gods, God etc.

from London (November 1896)
