Third Act, partly prose

But those who are truly attached to this earthly realm, who have drawn strength from it, are of a different opinion. To them, the threads that lead from other realms to this earth appear strong. We stand here at Lucifer's throne. And the being who so powerfully asserts his presence here fights for every deed, indeed for every thought that originates in an earthly soul. He knows that he must one day plunge into dark abysses if he has not captured as much from the small earthly world as he can obtain in the realm of light. And when the human soul then sets before itself the images of the world goal that Lucifer strives for, and that which the spirits want to serve, which he resists, then it is filled with creative zeal and can know that it strives for nobility when it destroys Lucifer's power on earth.
