Grows rich in blessing when, by other paths,
It pours itself into the souls of men.
(Enter Philia, Astrid, and Luna.)
It floweth forth in speech, and in these words
Lies power to raise to realms celestial
Man’s common mode of thinking; and create
A world of joy, where erstwhile brooded gloom.
Aye, it can change the spirit’s shallowness
To depths of earnest feeling; and can cast
Man’s character in sure and noble mould.
