'He who has no root has no shoot,
and although he imagines
he has come into existence,
he will cease.
For he who doesn't truly exist
can never come into fullness
of flawless Being.
How then did he regard himself?
As one who comes into existence
like night-time shadows and ghosts.
But when the Light shines on his fright
he sees that he is as nothing.'
