And the God of gods seperated a Spirit from Himself and created in it beauty.
He gave to it the lightness of the breeze at dawn an the fragrance of the flowers of the field and the softness of moonlight.
Then He gave to it a cup of joy, saying:
"You shall drink and of it except that you forget the Past and heed not the Future."
And He gave to it a cup of sadness, saying: "You shall drink and know therefrom the meaning of life's rejoicing."
Then He put therein a Love that would foresake it with the first sigh of satisfaction; and Sweetness that would go out therefrom with the first word uttered.
And He caused to descend upon it knowledge fron the heaven's  to guide it in the way of Truth.
And plantedin its depths Sight, that it might see the unseen.
Therein He created Feeling to flow with images and phantom forms;
And clothed it with a garment of Yearning woven by angels from rainbow strands.
In it He did put the darkness of Confusion, which is Light's image.
And the God took fire from Wrath's furnace, and a Wind from the deseert of Ignorance, and Sand from the saeashore of Selfishness, and Earth from beneath the feet of the ages, and He created man.
He gave to him unseeing Force to rise up in fury with madness and subside before lust.
And God of gods smiled and wept and knew a Love boundless and without limit, and He mated Man with his Spirit.
