Since quite some time Mani had noticed, that the transparency of nature shimmering in rich colours gradually gilded itself more and more and how by this the shining power of the forest, through which they walked, increased continuously.

The streams of light, which penetrated all trees and bushes, all grass as well as all birds and other animals and even the stones overgrown with moss and the sometimes shimmering earth - as if they were their own inner life - started now to be aglow up in an ever brighter gold, so that Mani got even almost dazzled.
