Third Act, partly prose
CAPESIUS: The being standing before you here trembles at every moment that forces it to enclose itself in a body woven from earthly forces. And unfortunately, this body lives, and the one standing here must often seek it out and enclose itself in it. Then he feels as if all the worlds he can appreciate are collapsing around him, leaving only a narrow dungeon enclosed on all sides by nothingness.
