"Hermes" is a word in ENGLISH
Originally, a boundary stone dedicated to Hermes as the god
of boundaries, and therefore bearing in some cases a head, or head and
shoulders, placed upon a quadrangular pillar whose height is that of
the body belonging to the head, sometimes having feet or other parts of
the body sculptured upon it. These figures, though often representing
Hermes, were used for other divinities, and even, in later times, for
portraits of human beings. Called also herma. See Terminal statue,
under Terminal.
See Mercury.
I know not what quintessence of all this mixture, which, seizing my whole will, carried it to plunge and lose itself in his, and that having seized his whole will, brought it back with equal concurrence and appetite to plunge and lose itself in mine.
