The mortal body is but a husk from which the new body grows, as it is with a grain of wheat.
Behold the mystery of the earth: as that brings forth so must thou bring forth.
Man's child is the soul which is born in the astral moving from the flesh
And the earth's child is the grass, the herbs, the trees.
Out of the earth silver, gold and all manner of ore came to be
In the deep above the earth sprang the wonderful forming of power and virtue.
