evil; and they were not, even as Thou art Not.
I. I saw the twin heads that ever battle
against one another, so that all their thought

2. I saw the darkeners of wisdom, like black
apes chattering vile nonsense. I saw Thee in
these.

eat up their children—O ye that are without
understanding!

in these.
5. I saw the burning ones, giants like vol-
canoes belching out the black vomit of fire and
smoke in their fury. I saw Thee in these.
6. I saw the petty, the quarrelsome, the
selfish, —-they were like men, Ο Lord, they
were even like unto men. I saw Thee in these.
