Then I alone seem lost, for of myself
I cannot cast all doubts from out my heart;
And surely I shall never find again
The way that doth unto the temple lead.
Theodora:
From out thine heart a glow of light spreads forth;
A human image now is born therefrom;
And I can hear the words, which do proceed
From this same human form. E’en thus they sound:
‘I have achieved the power to reach the light.’
