(I said: 'Perhaps you will be willing to show

me my eternal lot, and we will contemplate

together upon it, and see whether your lot or

mine is most desirable.' ...So the Angel said:

'Thy phantasy has imposed upon me, and thou

oughtest to be ashamed.' I answered: 'We impose

on one another, and it is but lost time to converse

with you whose works are only Analytics'.

I have always found that Angels have the vanity

to speak of themselves as the Only Wise. This

they do with a confident insolence sprouting

from systematic reasoning.)



...ALL THIS BECAUSE OF THEM

WHO CAN'T EXIST

WITHOUT EACH OTHER...

AND NOW I HOPE

YOU'RE GOING TO ABANDON

YOUR FOOLISH QUEST AT LEAST
