Abraxas begetteth truth and lying,good and evil, light and darkness,in the same word and in the same act.Wherefore is Abraxas terrible.It is love and love’s murder.It is the saint and his betrayer.It is the brightest light of dayand the darkest night of madness.

The bird flies to God.

–Herman Hess, ‘Damien’
