Lucifer (From Levi)
[/div]
"The errant comet, however, all bloody and disheveled, rushes up from the depths of heavens; she dashes across the peaceful spheres like a war chariot between the ranks of a procession of virgins; she dares confront the burning sword of the guardians of the sun [...] she penetrates right into the tabernacle of the king of daytime; then she escapes, exhaling the fires which devour her and dragging behind her like a long blade.
[...]
'Do not believe, my dear sister! That I wander about in search of adventure and trouble the harmony of the stars, [...] if my course appears uncertain and wandering, it is because your rays do not extend far enough to be able to embrace the contour of the ellipse that was given to me as my career.
My flaming hair is the beacon of God; I am the messanger of the suns, and I dip into their fires in order to share them along my routes with young worlds who do not yet have enough warmth and with aging stars who are cold in their solitude. If I tire in my long voyages, if I have a less graceful beauty than yours, if my finery is less virginal, I am nonetheless, like you, a noble daughter of the heavens.
Leave to me the secret of my terrible destiny, leave me to the horror which surrounds me, and curse me if you cannot understand me; it shall not stop me from completing my work which has been imposed upon me. [...]
I am the outcast who always travels and whose patrimony is the infinite. They accuse me of setting fire to the planets which I warm, and of frightening the stars that I light up; they blame me for troubling the harmony of their universe because I do not turn about their particular centers and because I link them to each other by fixing my gaze towards the unique center of all suns.
Be reassured [...] my beautiful fixed star, I do not come to take away your peaceful light; on the contrary, it is for you I exhaust my life and my heat. May I disappear from the skies when I will have consumed myself; my end will then be rather beautiful! Know that in the temple of God there burn different fires, who all render glory unto him; you are the light of the golden chandeliers, and my flame is that of sacrifice; let us each accomplish our destinies."
