You Dare to Awaken?Posted on 01/12/2022  |  By

We demons cannot suffer such a thing.

We harry, hunt, pursue who dares such deeds
With all those souls who give themselves to us,
With all those forces which obey our will.

For ours are the turning-points of time
And ours this humanity which lies,
Without their God, in weakness, vice, and error.

We never yield the booty we have won,
But tear to pieces him who dares to touch it.

 

Excerpted from a poem written by Marie Steiner as a conclusion to the biography “The Story of My Life” by Rudolf Steiner.
