(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
