Beschreibungen/Notizen
The idea of the demons as a book establishes the overall theme of the sequence, preparing the readers for the revelation of the demons' true nature. Here, the beings above seem less sinister, promising bold new experiences if the audience will leave their "silky, soft cocoon": The far stars wheel, the space winds surge Against the dwellers on the verge; The sky is black, the sky is bright; Leave dreaming to the lower night. The idea of the demons as friends to the audience continues in poem VI as they take the readers on a journey through time. [...]the demons take the audience into the Ultima Thule: And still beyond 's a dimmer way, a pit too deep for any day To penetrate, a landscape dark In this frightening region, the friendly character of the demons begins to change with the final lines, "And do not dawdle by the way- 1 Remember, I'm not in your pay."
