When I beheld it through Capesius.
The part of me which knows was not awake;
That in an earth-life of the distant past
Capesius and I were closely knit:
That also for a long time have I known,—
Yet at that instant I did know it not.
How can I keep my knowledge all the time?
(A voice from the distance, that of Johannes’ Double.)
‘The magical web
That forms their own life.’
