Preliminary drafts: Scenes not included in the drama
AHRIMAN: So I roll in the eternal course The fiery wheels of human life Up the steep slope. I feel within myself How human souls rejoice When I lift the element uphill. The sound of festive jubilation resounds within me When human spirits, progressing Feel themselves being led from stage to stage. But no matter how often I have now Begun the work and believed it complete, It has always been nothing But the beginning of a new creation. So I feel uncertainty tormenting me, Whether a goal can ever be found. And I can know only one thing: The end will be reached, If in just ONE human soul, Titanic work, accomplished through me, Just one spark is ignited, Which can then continue to blaze there. As great as my work is, This spark is needed, If it is to reach its goal. Many have already made the decision, But soon extinguished its spark of fire The fear of those worlds, That keep me bound.
