Author’s comment:
The work was done for the CGBoost - “Alchemist Challenge” contest in an extremely short time.
The homunculus, artificially created in the laboratory of the alchemist, an early know-it-all, for whom there are no shackles, no barriers, languishes by conditioning, by life, by the flesh, by real existence in the real world.
«…It brightens! See! – Now there’s a real chance,
That, if from the hundred-fold substance,
By mixing – since mixing makes it happen –
The stuff of human life’s compounded,
And distilled in a flask, well-founded,
And in proper combination, grounded,
Then the silent work is done.
(He turns again to the furnace.)
It will be! The mass is clearer!
The proof comes nearer, nearer:
What man praises in deepest Nature,
Through Reason we dare to probe it,
And what she organises, here,
We’re now able to crystallise it….»
