Handwritten note in notebook, archive number 98, no dates given, presumably for Kristiania (Oslo), December 1921.

Brothers of the past

Your creativity will become our wisdom. We

we want the circular roundness and the

straightness of your royal art;

your work done shall be

strength to our soul, be strength to our

Brothers of the present
As you are wiser than us, let
your wisdom flow into our
souls, that we may become members
of your divine thoughts.

Brothers of the future
If you carry the plan of the building in your
will, let your strength flow into our members,
so that
we may become the body of the great souls.

Master of the Past:

My mind's eye beholds

My soul's sense strives

To build with you the human-world structure.

Master of the present:
In willing devotion
Hear my soul's ear
Your creative word
So that not forever lost
Man from the world's goal
And Lucifer must perish.

Apprentice of the world and of life
We lose ourselves.

Comrade of men
Find the other.

Master of himself.

The wavering column of light
The firm column of darkness.
