Orpheus, hark!

Orpheus, hark!
Go not into that gentle light alone!
Bring with thee a thane-brother,
a shield-friend, a little wolf of the North
who you met when you were a common cutpurse on the high road
ye sad harper, bring him along
so when thou leadst thy love along the stony  path full of pitfalls and cliff descents
when thou rescuest thine heart's desire out of the illuminated cave
if she, in tearful wish of Knowing 

Why We Must thus

 to the beckoning Cave's Light returns her gaze,
and thine eyes must sadly follow hers, knowing fully it means both of your demise
so from the seduction of Hell's bright halo
He the loyal aetheling-warrior and bosom-friend

 may shield ye both with the leather aegis made of tanned lion' skin

and protect ye from the cold illuminant wrath of an idiot God with warm shadowy Human darkness.

when you must undergo your one and only final katabasis DOWNWARDS. ( ein Untergang des Menschen).
