Notes About The Poem

"One becomes two, two becomes three, and by means of the third and fourth achieves unity; thus two are but one". quote by Marie-Louise von Franz - known for her psychological interpretations of fairy tales and of alchemical manuscripts including the 'Axiom of Maria'.

Axiom of Maria

one is a spark,
two is a clash,
three's a crowd bash

four twines the braid
squares up the sides
tradeoff abides

light the candle,
enjoy shared roles,
four conjoint souls

triad anguish
seeks a fourth goal
mandala whole
