Help! lover, Venus, mistress of my life!
I cannot bear the glory of the gaze.
No man shall look upon the face of God!
Where art thou? Save me from the scorpion!
I am—alone!
Hathoör.
Light, Truth, arise, arise!
Tannhäuser.
I see—I see! All blinded by the Light—
Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life, the Love!
