Solen skiner och det regnar, marken ångar som ett bad. På den gröna markens vägnar tackar nu var frälst dryad. Se hur nådigt himlen hägnar blom och blad. Jorden flyger genom världen som en gud i morgonglans. Se dig icke om på färden. Gudars färd är farlig dans. Fråga icke. Alltid bär den någonstans. Alltid hittar du en stjärna till att gyckla för din syn. Varför grubbla då och spjärna emot ödet, vinden, skyn? Lätta timmar, dröjen gärna eller flyn.
