Drives him to seek some outer work in life.
Within oneself, as all true mystics know,
Those forces must develop in their strength
In order to oppose these enemies;
But Strader’s sight, it seems, is not yet ripe
To see such foes upon his spirit-path.
Romanus:

As stand outside the spirit-realms entire,
Have not yet left his side, but guide his steps.
