The Soul's Awakening: Scene 2

Capesius: Far more than when they work on outer things Do spirit forces lose themselves in words. Words make one reason o'er what one has seen, And reason is a foe to seership's power. I had a spirit-vision even now Which only could disclose itself to me Because the soul which was revealed to me,— Although our earthly bodies are close friends,— Had never been by me quite understood. If I saw truly, I am no more bound By any ties unto this work of earth. For I must feel persuaded that high Powers Now set another goal before my soul Than that prescribed for it by Hilary.
