To human progress and perform such work

As shall in course of time prove living force

Must first entrust himself unto those powers

Who work in deep realities and bring,

Where order with confusion aye doth fight,

The rhythmic law of number and its power.

For knowledge only hath true active life,

That can reveal itself within the soul

When it can bring to men, still clothed in flesh,

The memory of life in spirit-realms.
