I call strong Pan, the substance of the whole,
Etherial ,marine, earthy, general soul,
Undying fire; for all the world is thine,
And all are parts of thee, O pow'r divine...
All parts of matter, various form'd, obey,
All nature's change thro' thine protecting care,
And all mankind thy lib'ral bounties share,
For these where'er dispersed thro' boundless space,
Still find thy providence support their race.
- The Orphic Hymn to Pan

A symbol is ever, for him that has eyes for it, some dimmer or clearer revelation of the God-like.
- Helena Blavatsky
