XV. Verba Discordiae.

I deny the East, and I do not want the South. For the East wants to have everything, but the South wants to endure everything. For the East wants to have everything, but the South wants to endure everything. But what will the West and the North achieve? The dawn shines while holding the sun; the West, however, carries the darkness. But can the North do anything? Can it? For darkness obscures the light, but the sun does not approach darkness, so that it may diminish it. In this way, both possess their own strength. And the wind supports those things that are carried away in darkness. What can the birds in the sky and the beasts and cattle on the earth do? And what possibility do fish have in the waters according to their kinds? What they can do, they do. But I live among all these, and I discern what they are and what they can do. For the lowly and the unknown, the rich and the poor, I overturn them all like a wheel. If I were to look at only one thing, I would find it tiresome. But in everything, as long as it pleases me, I am. But each person, whether rich or poor, noble or lowly, should do what they can. So will I do too. The North Wind and the East Wind do this. *
