His aim is to confuse the thought of man

Because therein, misled by error old,

He seeks the source of all his sufferings.

As yet he knows not that the only way

For him to find release in future is

To find himself reflected in this thought.

And so he shows himself to men indeed,

But not as he doth feel he is in truth.

Himself revealing, and concealing too,

He sought to utilize in his own way
