How they should guide him to the heights of light
Out of the depths, and they expect of us
To fill his soul with power for such high flight.
Thou shalt absorb for me, my Philia,
The light’s clear essence from the breadths of space;
And fill thyself with all the charm of sound,
Which wells from out the soul’s creative power;
That thou mayst then impart to me the gifts
Which thou dost gather from the spirit’s depths.
Then can I weave their perfect harmonies
