“No noble and exalted life exists,” he once said, “without knowedge of devils and demons, and without continual struggle against them.”
-- Hermann Hesse, “The Glass Bead Game”

“No noble and exalted life exists
Without knowledge of devils and demons..."
They walk like shadows in our midst.
They follow us like blind believers.

We seek uprightness and repent.
We plead to them not to disturb us.
Somehow, we cannot comprehend:
Without them, we have no purpose.
