He should gird up his soul, which like all souls

Needs spirit-sleep in which it may mature

The forces which are germinating there.

I know that I in time to come shall dare

To work for spirit-worlds—but do not now

Appeal to me for services—not now.

Think how I drove away Capesius …

Were I ripe for this work—he would be, too.

Maria:

Capesius away? Dost thou not—dream?
