- W4245044558 abstract "In Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646), Sir Thomas Browne, an essayist close to the heart of Thoreau, reports that authorities as venerable as Pliny, Seneca, Saint Augustine, and Gregory the Great believed that crystals were “nothing else, but Ice or Snow concreted, and by duration of time, congealed beyond liquation.”1 Participating in this tradition—and affirming the etymology of crystal, from the Greek verb krustaimein, to freeze, and its cognate noun, krustallos, ice—Saint Jerome in his commentary on Ezekiel translates the Hebrew qerah (“ice, frost”) into the Latin crystallus. The prophet, beholding four strange beings wheel about the Babylonian sky, envisions as a field of ice (qerah, krustallos, crystallus) the “likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creatures.” Established in Genesis when God divided the lower waters from the upper, this frozen network, this threshold of jewels (translated in the King James Bible as “terrible crystal”), shines between these whirling forms and the “likeness” of a throne above. Separating and joining the heavens and the earth, this icy boundary is a transparent conduit conjoining Ezekiel and his mysterious God.2 Inheriting the mantle of Ezekiel, John in his Revelation likewise experiences the heavenly freeze." @default.
