CHAPTER XXI
18/26

Because it came upon me at the moment when I learned the truth about myself.

He and I are one, therefore I learned the truth about him also.
"I was like Eve when she left the Tree; knowledge was mine, only I had eaten of the fruit of Life.

Yet the taste of it must be bitter in my mouth.

What have I done?
I have given my spirit into the keeping of a man who is pledged to another woman, and, as I think, have taken his from her keeping to my own.

What then?
Is this other woman, who is so good and kind, to be robbed of all that is left to her in the world?
Am I to take from her him who is almost her husband?
Never.
