To give my light unto men’s souls on earth.
They wish to draw from darksome depths alone,
What they should freely offer unto life.
Felix Balde:
Yet ’twas man’s own illusion in itself,
That brought me light from out the darkest depths:
And let me to the temple find my way.
Romanus:
The fact that thou hast hither found thy way
Gives me the power to give light to the will
