Emblema II. Nutrix ejus terra est. 'The Earth is its nurse.' This emblem
again alludes to the Emerald Table. In the discourse, the words CUR VERO
TERRA ('Why indeed the Earth?') are written in capital letters, suggesting
the reading Cor verum terra ('The Earth in the true heart'). Indeed, the
Philosophick Earth is the Matter (mater or mother) of the Work, whose
milk, the Lac Virginis (Milk of the Virgin), feeds the infant Sulphur.

Commentary from the book, The Golden Game, by Stanislas Klossowski de Rola.
