Waite o wroth unities. You have not yet been designated. Please your mounth wick
over so as to not offend or injure. Take care of your words mèirneal mòrdha draoidh.

the blinking Laku.
        
My arms that they might brace...legs that they might attain...annulus that it might
undreg. My uriel that it might ouranos. My work that it might propull. May the
twenty-four widthful give me a name. That when the day’s eye abscedes I might in
holy sustenance coo to him aglorian. That I might glow exwhom I am and what it is I
should insay and fordo.
        
Fourfold candidate whose incense sweetly shines before me now. I am the unposed
fragrance of the perfectyam. The heat in the tremblinding I am also. The quivering
and I have got your casava, your balat, and your pitik: the combinations of your five
rudiments in pears. Look for the bracelet of three hale metals lost long ago by anger
which is the middle of seven mortal sooths. For wear this on your writhe and it will
becoven the first of four greater perfections: the four bodies of four. And you will
mend her your true premchasse who proceeds in tetraternity. Byhyssop you might
finnd yourself allred trowly maned.
        
Once more you must go in unto the sevrena who restide in the sunyama. My doublter

    Sons et douceurs de la colline,
    Whom heavenly hosts in glory sing,
    La mort ce jour-ci s’a soumis au signe.
        
Join them and dance in the nightglow water. For you are like the green arbutus that
eternally yields a joyful fruit

The appointed time in body this passion be your deed. The lamp of the ridge be lofted
and its lifeblood on the stock be spilled
        
le sang de l’Agneau
        
        A boy is on a beach in the middle of the night with three girls who then take off
        their clothes and wade into the cold water laughing. He follows them. One of the
        girls tells him a story under that full moon. Very soon however he is stung by a 
        sting ray. His eyes shut in panic and the stage blacks out. When he wakes up he is
        floating on a river upstream. Still night.

        LAGYO
I must be a turtle. Every star the mouth of a river.
I fear that I am becoming an uncreated thing.
Oh after I am shattered may my thread be remade.

        He is still naked.

        LAGYO
How could I return having passed the farthest ring?
I know all things are destined to you
But where in my life is the error?

        The gateway to truth is silence and terror.
        You hear the increasingly loud noise of frogs from the reeds along the riverbank.
        
        TREE FROG
I will sing a new song to you.

        You will sing a song on a ten-stringed instrument.
        
        LAGYO
I want to taste the fresh-water of love yes that was what I wanted. Who are these
strange children?
        
        Hand over to her the pendant that hangs upon your chest.
        
        TREE FROG
May our sons be as pillars grown up in their youth and our daughters as corner-stones
of palaces.
        
        Watch as that one leaps back into the great waters luminously. Now keep your mind
        steady for here comes a little one who brings others from the boundary.
        
        HUMMINGBIRD
Do you think you’ll ever get back home?
I was named after my grandfather.
        
        LAGYO
I believe that I was also.
Listen for that voice when you return.
        
        GREAT EGRET
And from me is the flesh of your flesh...the bone of your bones.
One day through a symbol I will return the world to safety.
        
        JACKRABBIT
As for me I’ll break your teeth.

        The rings on your fingers—you must give those up now. They are leaving.
        
        SWALLOWTAIL
All which heaven did create
Belongs on earth where trumpets blast
Announcing life in sweet parade
And death when sweetness too has passed.
        
        Quickly—give up the crown which is sitting upon your hair. Look, it is growing
        darker—you can’t even see your own hands can you?
        
        LAGYO
Is this the hour? When will it arrive?

        You have nearly come to the outer limit. Do you hear the call of the golden one?
        
        GOLDEN EAGLE
I’ve got to go away.
It’s time to go away.
        
        LAGYO
You shall have my soul and body. But my life is not finished yet.
        
        To have life you must first have death. Give the eagle the bands from your arms.
        Now be still for the river is nearly at its end and the final watcher is waiting.
        
        BOBCAT
TO VENTURE THE OUTER CHAIN I NEED THAT WHICH YOU VALUE MOST. THEREUPON YOU WILL BE LOST; 
OTHERS HAVE COME BEFORE AND WERE UNDONE.
        
        LAGYO
What is it you need from me? I will climb this ladder wherever I am asked to go
though which direction this is I cannot be sure.
        
        BOBCAT
TO ENTER THE INMOST YOU MUST GIVE UP YOUR LOVE.

        You are holding an acorn in your hand. Place it on the tongue of that frightful
        antagonist. Watch as it grows sorrowfully into a magnificent oak: heart of the heart.
        
        ????
SEE WHAT YOU WERE BEFORE YOU WERE CLOTHED AND WHAT YOU WILL BE WHEN IT IS TIME TO REST. 
I AM THE ROBES OF THE MASTER. I HAVE THE LION’S EAR BETWEEN MY THUMB AND FOREFINGER.
UNDER MY WATCH THE FOUR ABODES ARE PURE.
        
        A golden bracelet appears with a blast of lightning and is suspended like a star. 
        Put it on your wrist.
        
        ????
BROKEN-SWADDLED ONE REALIZED-INCARNATE OF BELOW-BETWEEN-ABOVE: YOU MAY ACCOMPLISH 
THE FEATS OF THE ANOINTED O LUX.
        
        Rain of flowers. He is sent back along the river flowing in the opposite direction
        whereupon each article of clothing is returned to him. A pleasing voice sings.
