Lord, said David, since you do not needus, why did you create these two worlds?Reality replied: O prisoner of time, Iwas a secret treasure of kindness andgenerosity, and I wished this treasureto be known, so I created a mirror: itsshining face, the heart; its darkened back,the world; The back would please you ifyou've never seen the face.
