It was not solely because of beauty

though there was that too,

it was discovery, discovery that exalted him

for he knew the old tradition, the old, old legend,

his father had had from his grandfather

and his grandfather from his great-grandfather (and so on),

was true; this was never spoken about, not even whispered in secret;

the legend was contained in old signs and symbols,

and only the most painful application could decipher them,

and only the very-few could even attempt to do this,

after boy-hood and youth dedicated

to the rigorous sessions of concentration

and study of the theme and law

of time-relation and retention of memory;

but in the end, Kaspar, too, received the title Magian

(it is translated in the Script, Wise Man).
