Ha! A rush of bliss (from Faust)
Ha! A rush of bliss flows suddenly through all my senses! I feel a glow, a holy joy of life which sets my veins and flesh afire. Was it a god that drew these signs which soothe my inward raging and fill my wretched heart with joy, and with mysterious strength reveal about me Nature's pulse? Am I a god? The light pervades me so! In these pure ciphers I can see living Nature spread out before my soul. At last I understand the sage's words: “The world of spirits is not closed: your mind is shut, your heart is dead! Pupil, stand up and unafraid bathe your earthly breast in morning light!”
