Division of Seven
It is not Shakespeare only who divided the ages of man into a series of seven, but Nature herself.[1]
By what prophetic instinct Shakespeare pitched upon seven as the number which
suited his fantastic classification of the ages of man, is a question with which we need not be much concerned; but certain it is that he could not have made a more felicitous choice. In periods of sevens the evolution of the races of man may be traced, and the actual number of the objective worlds which constitute
our system, and of which the earth is one, is seven also.[2]
