" Monelle found me in the plain where I was wandering and took me by the hand. “Do not be surprised,” she said. “It is I, and it is not I; “You shall find me again, and you shall lose me; “Once more shall I come among you; for few men have seen me, and none has understood me; “And you shall forget me, and you shall recognize me, and you shall forget me. "
