My son is he,—and how shall I bear him that have not known man? All this time intolerable rays are shooting forth to beat me back or destroy me; but I am encased in an egg of blue- violet, and my form is the form of a man with the head of a golden hawk.

Every drop is the quintes- sence of the ecstasy of stars. * There are long intervals between many of these paragraphs, the Seer having been lost to Being.
