13
I have made you that ye shall create love and victory. That which ye create I will not destroy.
That ye may be courageous, I have hidden the future from you. That ye may conceive the light, I have laid my hand over your eyes and covered you in darkness.
That ye may know hope and despair, I have tempted you with many ideals, even while I resist all your striving for ever.
Yea, that ye may excel in fortitude, I will harass you all the days of your life, and seem to defeat you for ever.
That ye may love, I have tuned you together like music, so that in loneliness ye fulfil not yourselves.
That ye may increase in love, I have given you the means to sacrifice; that ye may sacrifice to love, and know that love is best.
That ye may know the peace of love, I have set in each of you the desire of a dear friend; that ye may look upon each other in wonder and delight, and be sufficient each to another.
That ye may know the glory of love, I have spoken to you in your friend’s voice; and in the eyes of your beloved ye have seen me.
