Thomasius gave himself to painting’s art
Until he felt an inward spirit-call
To take up science as his work in life.
His gifts which were so great and so unique
Within the region of the painter’s art,
Were first developed when he passed within
The spheres devoted to true mystic lore,
These led him to the Master, and, through him,
He learnt the first steps in that world of truth
Where wisdom teaches spiritual sight.
