Spring

The drawings have a classic cliché character. Elves standing in a magic mushroom circle that recharges the energy of the person standing in its center. The figures holding their scepters with crystals of emerald (spring), crystal ball (summer), citrine (autumn) and amethyst (winter). Each of them has an owl and animal patrons as a sign of wisdom. As a whole, the elves are supposed to represent Mother Nature, which is like the moving rocker of a coin press. If we put the raw material into the press correctly, it mints beautiful medals, but if incorrectly, it mints shapeless shapes. Evil in nature is a disease of growth. Nature is not aware of itself, so it is not a machine operator, but a wonderful and blind machine. It creates endlessly, but gradually. Otherwise, the uncreated would endlessly create itself, which is nonsense. Infinite progress is a mistake that is forever corrected. Nature always exerts only such force as is adequate to overcome resistance. Resistance is to force what the fulcrum is to a lever. The slow and regular law of progress is the general law of nature. Progress is governed by the perfection which is latent in every thing. This perfection in a latent state is the thought of God in all nature. Nature is a clockwork wound by God (the universe). It may be accelerated or slowed down by fateful changes in its material gearing, but it never stops, because its movement is given by the genius of the supreme watchmaker. The creative and regulating principle manifests itself in nature as a latent intelligence, coming to light despite various obstacles, which can limit its infinity through it in order to create finite forms. Nature would be imperfect if it were motionless. But its very imperfection requires progress, and this is a necessary condition of eternal life. When an imperfect being dies, nature rejects everything that could preserve it in its present imperfection. When a man or an animal grows old, loses its teeth, its eyes grow dim, its hands and feet stiffen, nature takes away from it the means by which it keeps alive. Nature slowly carries out the transformations in which new races replace others. Nations are born, grow, and grow old. If empires are to fall, their rulers are bound by incompetence and madness, they get rid of gifted people and listen to malicious counselors. Those who believe in eternal life do not want to remember death, but on the contrary have hope in the movement of life. To embalm or leave the body in coffins is to worship death. Nature is aristocratic and monarchical. The worlds have but one sun, man has but one head, and the lion is still king of the land. A king without justice is like a crowned anarchist, and anarchists who conspire are like tyrants who want to break the crown and then fight over its pieces. The fateful forces of nature can become assistants to human wisdom. It is enough to know them and know how to direct them. Nature and man can do nothing alone. The greatest forces are collective forces. But to be complete, these forces must be monarchical, that is, they must be incited and directed by an individual. A solitary man, even if he were a genius, is like a head without a body. When nature creates the poor, she undertakes to pay for them. Truth, reason, justice and law are strictly despotic and no one escapes their authority. Where those aspects do not prevail, the natural fateful force decides, but always according to the law of balance given by universal divine foresight.
