Upon this opposition;—I could bear.
But I cannot forego these worlds of thine.
Felix Balde:
A man cannot attain the spirit-world
By seeking to unlock the gates himself.
Once didst thou give me pleasure, when of old
Of thine invention thou wast wont to speak—
Then, when enlightenment was granted thee
By what thou didst not strive to understand.
Thou wast far nearer to the mystic mood.
