The Tempter

“He too … was a tempter; he, too, was a link to the second, the evil world with which I no longer wanted to have anything to do.

I was free of ... the devil's hands but through no power or effort of my own. I had tried to pass through the labyrinth of the world but the way had proved too intricate for me. ... I retreated, looking neither to the left nor to the right, but went straight to my mother's lap and the security of a pious, sheltered childhood. I had to replace my dependence ... with a new one, for I was unable to walk alone. So, in the blindness of my heart, I chose to be dependent … on the old, cherished ‘world of light,’ though I knew by now that it was not the only one.”
