One truth alone confront mine onward steps—
That ever denser grows illusion’s veil.
Ahriman:
Let not thyself be quite confused by him.
He guards the threshold faithfully indeed
E’en if today thou see’st him wear the clothes
Which for thyself thou didst patch up before
Within thy spirit from old odds and ends.
And least of all shouldst thou behold in him
An actor in a poor dramatic show.
