The universe is a vast river, br The rain is very cold; br There is no reason to persist: br This moment is forever. br br Come, call the Master of Æthers, br Prince of the Air, sovereign; br Summon him if you need reason to go on br Although this moment is forever. br br Lady in white walks by the river, br Beckoning me into the future: br Beauty impels me to follow, br Since this moment is forever.
