Tannhäuser.

My friend, the Three is infinitely small,

Mere surface. And I seek the Depth divine!

The Unknown Minstrel.

The solid! But the triangle aspires

To that same unity that you despise,

And lo! the Pyramid! The Sages say:

Unite that to the Sphinx, and all is done,

Completion of the Magnum Opus.

Tannhäuser.
