We reach the spirit-circle of the soul.

Maria’s Soul:

The flames draw nigh, they draw nigh with my thought

There from my distant cosmic shore of souls;

A fierce strife doth draw nigh;—’tis mine own thought

Which battles with the thoughts of Lucifer;—

Mine own thought battles in another’s soul,—

The hot light issues—out of gloomy cold—

Like lightning flashes. Is this hot soul-light—

This soul-light—in the cosmic fields of ice?
