Deutsch: "Die Zeit ist ein Kind - spielend wie ein Kind - ein Brettspiel spielend - das Königreich [ist] des Kindes. [Heraklit, DK Fr. 52] Dies ist Telesphoros, der durch die dunklen Regionen dieses Kosmos wandert und wie ein Stern aus der Tiefe aufleuchtet, Er weist den Weg zu den Toren der Sonne und zum Land der Träume. [Od. 24.12]" Erinnerungen, Träume, Gedanken, 1962, S. 230f.
English: photograph of Greek inscription at the Bollingen "Tower" of C.G. Jung; the inscription itself dates to 1950.

The central figure is Homunculus-Mercurius-Telesphorus, wearing a hooded cape and carrying a lantern. He is surrounded by a quaternary Mandala of alchemical significance, with the top quarter dedicated to Saturnus, the bottom quarter to Mars, the left quarter to Sol-Jupiter ("male") and the right quarter to Luna-Venus ("female"). The Greek inscription translates to approximately:

"Aion (Time, Eternity, the Eon) is a child at play, gambling; a child's is the kingship. Telesphorus ("the Accomplisher") traverses the dark places of the world, like a star flashing from the deep, leading the way to the Gates of the Sun and the Land of Dreams"

Time is a child at play, gambling; a child's is the kingship is a fragment attributed to Heraclitus.

to the Gates of the Sun and the Land of Dreams is a quote of the Odyssey (24.11), referring to Hermes the psychopomp leading the spirits of the slain suitors away.
Français : photographie de l'inscription en grec gravée sur l'une des faces d'une pierre cubique se trouvant à la Tour de Bollingen, résidence de C.G. Jung, en Suisse Cette inscription date de 1950.

Le personnage central représente tout à la fois l'homunculus, Hermès et Télesphore, portant une pèlerine à capuchon et tenant une lanterne à la main gauche. Il est entouré d'un mandala quaternaire de nature alchimique, le quartier supérieur étant dédié à Saturne, le quartier inférieur à Mars, celui de gauche au soleil et à Jupiter (principe masculin) et celui de droite à la Lune et à Vénus (principe féminin). La traduction approximative du texte grec est la suivante :

«Éon est un enfant qui s'amuse, jouant au tric trac ; de [cet] enfant [est] la royauté». Télesphore traverse les endroits obscurs du monde et tel une étoile qui brille depuis les profondeurs il montre le chemin «vers les Portes du Soleil et le Pays des Rêves».

Éon est un enfant qui s'amuse, jouant au tric trac ; d'un enfant est la royauté est un fragment d'un texte attribué à Héraclite.

vers les Portes du Soleil et le Pays des Rêves est une citation de l'Odyssée (24.11), faisant allusion à Hermès le psychopompe qui conduit les âmes des prétendants massacrés.
