Of all its bitter sorrow and its need.
Benedictus:
My friend, then tell us now how thou hast learned
The woe of world-depths in thine own soul’s core.
Felix Balde:
The light that shines in men as learning’s fruit
Must needs give nourishment to all the powers
Which serve world-cycles in the earth’s dark depths.
Already now a long time have they starved
Well-nigh entirely reft of sustenance.
