Bernard’s little spring, spring.

Meaning

The visitor identifies the shared source with Bernard’s little spring, which Bernard is said to have found in a field and begun to clean out. The image makes access to an existing source depend upon clearing rather than creating it. Within the same speech, the spring is linked to hyle and world spirit. The supplied passage names Bernard but does not itself securely identify a particular historical author or textual edition; its narrative allusion should not be expanded into a verified attribution beyond that evidence.
