And felt how colours longed to see themselves

Mirrored as spirit in the souls of men.

So doth my friend’s soul speak as if ’twere mine

Out of my pictures to the human heart.

Maria:

Bethink, Johannes, how the One Soul must—

A personality apart from all—

Evolve from out the womb of time.

Love serves to knit together separate souls

Not kill their individuality.
