Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Epic of God and the Devil God and The Devil. One is eternal, everlasting, great, Fair as the sunbeams, shining as a star, Celestial, of essence uncreate, Sustaining all things that created are, Upholding wide existence nigh and far; With perfect beauty, endless love endued, With nought his smiling loveliness to mar, Incomparably merciful and good, Existing in serene, complete beatitude. And One is ugly, hideous to dismay, Rotten and lazarlike, with claws that kill, Teeming with foul corruption and decay, With cankers, poisons, blights and all things ill, Raging with passions, filled with wicked will, Yet baulked and baffled, racked by ill success, Which doth his brow with myriad wrinkles fill; Blasted with disappointment, rottenness, Squalor, disease, dirt, filth, and pitiful distress. Great Zoroaster, to a listening world These sacred mysteries who hast revealed, And from the web of Nature hast unfurled Things secret, from the eye of sense concealed, And but for thee to be for ever sealed - May I thy wisdom once again expound, And may thy lore its lofty lessons yield, Thy lore incontrovertible, profound, On which with sure repose our hope, our faith, we found! From measureless eternity The Twain Have been, and will for ageless time remain, Kings of the Universe, their broad domain, Which One destroys, the Other doth sustain. Equal in power, they hold divided reign, Waging eternal war and strife amain, Which sets all Nature in convulsive pain. Now one, now other doth the triumph gain, And Nature quails in doubt which will the power maintain. From measureless eternity The Two Have striven in interminable fray.
